The antenute of this species are black, the five basal joints 

 are shining and almost impunctate, the sixth and seventh are 

 delicately punctured, the eighth to eleventh are granular with 

 a smooth centi-al line on the u])[)erside. The sides of the 

 thorax in the specimen described are slightly angular in the 

 middle. I have seen the head and thorax of a second, larger 

 specimen, in which the sides arc evenly rounded.
