cordato, convexo, crebre transversim ruguloso ; elytris elongato-ovatis, striis

A very distinct and handsome species; the anterior elytral spot 
extends from the 5th to 9th interstices, and is elongated only on the 
7th and 8th, the lateral margin exterior to this is white nearly to the 
shoulder, and again exterior to the apical patch. The elytra are 
different in form from the other species, the base being oblique instead 
of straight between the thorax and shoulders.
