terminal joints slightly darker and thickened, third and fourth 

 joints equal; thorax transversely convex, fulvous, the sides nearly 

 straight, the angles acute, the surface sparingly and finely punc-

 margined with piceous ; elytra subcylindrical, slightly depressed 

 below the base, rather deeply punctured within the depression, 

 much more finely punctate-striate posteriorly, pale fulvous or 

 flavous , the margins and an irregular-shaped broad band at 

 the sides^ piceous or dark fuscous, this band is deeply concave 

 at its lower edge and includes a pale-coloured spot of the ground 

 colour below the shoulder , it is interrupted at some distance 

 from the apex and the suture ; femora with a small tooth, the 

 four posterior tibiae emarginate near the apex, claws bifid, the 

 anterior margin of the thoracic episternum strongly convex.
