Of this species, of which I have numerous examples apparently 
taken in company, some specimens are a little smaller than the 
majority with longer antenne and their head and _ prothorax less 
closely and strongly punctured; I take them to be the males. 
The subsutural abbreviated stria is punctured a little confusedly 
but is quite well defined.

Each joint of the antenne after about the 3rd is more or less 
stained with piceous ; the front part of the femora is more or less 
widely infuscate (in some examples only very narrowly).
