with the upper surface, or the elytra only, fiery red ; very 

 smooth and shining. 



The body is compactly ovate and moderately convex. The 

 clypeus is rugose, short, with its front edge almost straight, 

 and the forehead is closely punctured. The pronotum is very 

 smooth and shining, with a few fine punctures near the front 

 and sides, and the lateral grooves are deep and contain a very 

 few inconspicuous whitish hairs. The scutellum is almost 

 unpunctured and scarcely angulated at the apex. The elytra 

 have each a distinct transverse impression before the middle 

 and five lightly impressed and punctured dorsal stria3, the 

 first, third, and fifth intervals being slightly convex, and the 

 second broad and irregularly punctured along the middle. 

 The pygidium is transversely strigose and bears a very 

 minute tuft of outstanding whitish hairs on each side of the 

 base and some scattered hairs towards the apex. The meso- 

 sternal process is moderately long, compressed, blunt, and 

 nearly straight. The sides of the sternum and abdomen are 

 clothed with long but not close hair. 



<$ . The front tibia is very broad and armed with two 

 short but sharp teeth, the lower lobe of the inner front claw 

 is angulated near the base, and the outer middle claw is cleft 

 at the tip. The pygidium is smoother, shorter, and more 

 inclined than in the female, and slightly protuberant at the 

 extremity. 



$ . The terminal tooth of the front tibia is long, curved, 

 and blunt. 



Length 9—12 mm.; breadth 5*5-7 mm.
