hairs which are shorter and less depressed than those of any other

Orate; very convex, black, body clothed with coarse cinereous hairs, 

 intermingled with whiter pubescence, the latter covering a broad space 

 along the outer margin of each elytron, and also forming an interrupted 

 vitta on the inner disc. Head rugose-punctate ; basal joints of antennas 

 obscure fulvous. Thorax subcylindrical, sides obtusely rounded, nar- 

 rowed in front ; rugose-punctate ; the centre of the disc with a slightly

The single individual of this insect sent by Mr. Downes is un-

 much more closely covered with white pubescence.
