Antennae nearly equal to the body in length, second and third 

 joints equal, each more than twice the length of the second, 

 fourth equal to the two preceding united, fifth and following 

 joints nearly equal, each somewhat shorter than the fourth. 

 Thorax broader than long, deeply constricted behind the middle, 

 smooth, impunctate. Scutellum triangular, its apex truncate. 

 Elytra longitudinally sulcate within the humeral callus, trans- 

 versely excavated near the suture below the basilar space, inter- 

 spaces strongly costate behind the middle of the elytra; ninth 

 stria from the suture broadly interrupted, the interrupted por- 

 tion costiform ; on the inner side of this costa, near its apex, is 

 a broad shallow fovea which extends across several of the adja- 

 cent striae.
