Rather near to //. yilgamensis, Blackb., but, inter alia, 

 notably smaller, with the head very different, elytral sculpture 

 smoother, basal joint of hind tarsi shorter in proportion 

 to second joint. The trilobed outline of the head is well 

 defined, divided : the middle lobe not more projecting than 

 the lateral lobes, and scarcely larger than half a lateral lobe.

Easily distinguishable from all near allies by colour and 

 vestiture. The puncturation of the pronotum much finer and 

 closer than of the elytra also furnishes a conspicuous character*
