Subovate, black, slightly pubescent : palpi and mouth testaceous: thorax imma- 

 culate, the disc convex and thickly punctulate : elytra red-brown, with the 

 base and margins black, the suture sometimes fuscescent, the disc rather 

 thickly, but finely punctured : legs rufo-testaceous, with the femora occa-

 those trees abound. " Dalmeney." — Rev. W. Little.
