Head very coarsely and rugosely punctured. Antennae 

 as long as the head and thorax together. Thorax one- 

 fourth broader than long, regularly narrow anteriorly 

 from the posterior angles which are acute, not very 

 thickly nor strongly punctured, the sides straight, the 

 anterior margin arched, incrassated; there is a lightly 

 impressed mesial line, on each side of the base of which 

 are the two usual shallow impressions near the scutellum ; 

 on each side of the disk there is a small round fovea. 

 Scutellum tAvice as broad as long, a little narrower at the 

 base, rounded at the angles, truncate at the apex. Elytra 

 gradually (but not much) enlarged to near the apex, and 

 then narrowed again, very strongly and thickly j^unctured, 

 the punctures with a small puncture in the middle of 

 each, the intervals forming a sort of iiTCgular network ; 

 each el}'lron has four distinct costas, which are shining 

 and with very few fine punctures. The underside of the 

 insect is dull, very finely and closely punctured.
