Dark chestnut-brown, the head and mandibles inclined to black ; 

 the legs and abdomen pitchy yellow. Mandibles nearly as long as 

 the head, very robust, convex, strongly punctured ; on the inner 

 side and the epistoma clothed with fulvous hair. Head shining 

 above, dull at the sides, with a longitudinal impressed line in the 

 middle ; with some strong punctures above, rugose at the sides. 

 Thorax wider than the head ; at its broadest part (just before the 

 anterior angles) a little more than twice as broad as long, narrowed 

 posteriorly, shiuing ; the disk flat, moderately strongly but not 

 closely punctured, with a smooth spot in the middle; the sides 

 sloping down ; the shining surface of the disk continued down the 

 side in a triangular shape to near the margin ; the rest of the side 

 impressed, dull and densely punctured. Scutellum smooth. Elytra 

 at the base a little broader than the base of the thorax, gradually 

 widened posteriorly for two thirds their length, and then again 

 narrowed, the apex broad and obtusely rounded ; shining, strongly 

 and moderately closely punctured, except near the scutellum, where 

 the punctuation is very delicate. Each elytron has a fine, slightly 

 oblique, raised line about the middle, commencing within the 

 shoulder and not extending to the apex. Submentum very closely 

 and very coarsely rugose.
