Almost nude, dark pitchy black, witli a slight bluish tint on 

 the elytra, the flattened portion of the elytra even more 

 distinctly depressed than in the preceding species, of a pitchy

 also sparingly clothed, but there is scarcely any other trace of 

 pile upon the elytra. The front of the head, sides of the

Distinguished by its generally dull pitcliy colour, and antenn;e 

 with testaceous basal joint, femora and coxct; i)aler than the. 

 general ground colour, and red abdomen. The elytra have the 

 usual rasp formed granulations but not more than eight series on 

 each elytra, nor do they end in distinct punctures. The chief 

 pattern to be discerned in the pile is a broad fascia about the 

 middle, widest on the margin, and a reniform lunide beyond 

 the nude band which sei>arates these two markings ; both, how- 

 ever, are very indistinct, and have only their eilges clearly visible.

Head pale, spotted with fuscous, antennai pale at base and 

 apex, fine, hairy ; thorax carinate at the base, two indistinct 

 tubercules on each side of the disc below the anterior constric- 

 tion, sides little wider than the base. Elytra distinctly punctate- 

 striate, the stria? continued to near the apex, which is pale and 

 sub-niucronate. Underside pale, the sides of the breast fuscous, 

 but the meta-thoracic parapleune entirely red.

Obs. This species has somewhat the facies of an Uinadiu.s, 

 but the width of the head between the eyes, and the antenme 

 are related rather to St 'kj matin ui.
