Length 2|-3 lines. 



Head with a few fine punctures, testaceous or obscure piceous ; 

 eyes very large, the intermediate space only half the width of tiieir 

 diameter ; clypeus strongly deflexed, nearly black ; antennae entirely 

 flavous, the third and fourth joints equal, the following ones shorter ; 

 thorax more than twice as broad as long, the sides with a broad flat- 

 tened margin, nearly straight, narrowed in front, the anterior angles 

 not much produced, the surface impunctate, fulvous, with an obscure 

 transverse depression near the base ; elytra very minutely punctured, 

 testaceous, with two black spots placed across the extreme basal 

 margin of somewhat triangular shape and connected anteriorly, a 

 narrow transverse anteriorly concave band is placed before the 

 middle, not extending 1o either margin, and two other small black 

 spots, forming a nearly connected similar band, concave at its 

 lower margin, are situated at some distance from the apex ; the 

 underside and legs are entirely testaceous. 



Caracas and Colonia Tovar. 



This species seems to be subject to discoloration, as in some 

 specimens the elytra are of an obscure fuscous colour, the antennae 

 being similarly darkened ; these darker specimens have several blackish 

 spots placed across the disk of the thorax, which in the type are 

 entirely absent.
