 gulare, obscure minute albomaculato ; antennis modice longis, filiformibus, partim subpubescentibus, 

 baud sensim acuminatis ; labio breve, convexo, antice leviter late emarginato; mandibulis baud denti- 

 culatis ; scutis sulcis duobus, obscuris, subapproximatis et suturis scuto-episcutalibus impressis ; pedi- 

 bus brevibus, gracilibus, utrinque 81, pari postremo parvo; sternis suturis sterno-episternalibus et aut

The whitish dots on the head are very minute as well as obscure. Many of the 

 scuta are quite rough ; the two lines are more separate and distinct on the posterior 

 ones, and correspond with the sulci in position. The sterna, besides the sterno-epis- 

 ternal sutures, have a central round impression, occasionally replaced by a longi- 

 tudinal median sulcus.
