Head impunctate, with a fovea between the eyes, black, the latter 

 very convex and large ; antennae two thirds the length of the body, 

 second and third joints very short, light piceous, two basal joints and 

 the ninth and tenth light flavous. Thorax a little broader than long, 

 the sides narrowly margined, the angles not produced, surface 

 smooth, slightly convex, impunctate, light flavous, shining. Scutellum 

 black. Elytra very closely and distinctly punctate, the margins and 

 apex, as well as the base, a narrow transverse band immediately 

 before and a second behind the middle, piceous ; an oblique thin 

 streak commencing at the humeral callus connects the basal with 

 the first band ; all these bands are sometimes more or less inter- 

 rupted. Legs and breast black, abdomen flavous.

Head black, shining, vertex distinctly but finely punctured, with 

 a fovea in the middle ; epistome coarsely punctured, its anterior 

 margin concave ; antennae black or dark piceous, the base of the 

 second and third joints paler, joints first and third long, of equal 

 length, the rest short, pubescent. Thorax transversely quadrate, 

 its sides narrowly margined ; surface slightly convex, impunctate, 

 flavous, this colour, however, often broken and obscure along the 

 anterior and posterior margin. Scutellum black. Elytra gradually 

 widened posteriorly, rather closely and distinctly punctate-striate, of 

 a pale testaceous colour, with a more or less distinct longitudinal 

 patch of fuscous on the disk below the middle ; a narrow transverse 

 black band, common to both elytra, is placed at the base, it com- 

 mences at the shoulder, and is triangularly dilated below the scutellum 

 at the sutural margin, where its point reaches to about one third of 

 the length of the elytra; a small black spot is also placed near the 

 apex of each elytron, at a little distance from the sutural angle. 

 Underside black ; femora and the anterior tibiae flavous, each with 

 a black dorsal streak ; rest of the tibiae and tarsi and the apex of 

 the posterior femora black.
