Hob. Persia. 



Clypeus not distinctly separated from the upper face, its an- 

 terior margin transversely truncate ; jaws nigro-piceous ; eyes 

 reniform, deeply notched ; antennae rather more than half the 

 length of the body, filiform, the six outer joints pale piceous, 

 second joint thickened towards the apex, equal in length to the 

 third, the latter slender. Thorax twice as broad as long across 

 the middle ; the sides rounded, all the angles mucronate ; above 

 convex, strongly punctured, rather sparingly clothed with ad- 

 pressed griseous hairs ; placed on the middle disk and extending 

 nearly across from side to side of the thorax, is an irregular black 

 transverse band. Elytra broader than the thorax, parallel, regu- 

 larly rounded at the apex ; convex, more finely and more spa- 

 ringly pubescent than the head and thorax, strongly punctate- 

 striate ; the inner stria bifurcate at the base, the puncturing ou 

 its inner ramus irregularly placed; extreme apex of hinder femur 

 piceous ; all the femora armed beneath with a short spine. 



This insect diifers from the typical species in having the upper 

 surface of its body sparingly pubescent.
