Although the hind angles of the prothorax when viewed 

 from directly above the segment appear (owing to the con- 

 vexity of the segment concealing the true margin) to be not 

 quite rounded off, yet when looked at a little from the side 

 obliquely (so that the true margin is seen) they cease to be 

 traceable, and are an even curve with no definite place of 

 meeting of the base and lateral margin. That is not the 

 case with any other of the near allies of this species except 

 decorus, Blackb., which, however, is a larger, broader, and 

 more robust insect, with the punctures of the elytra notably 

 larger. The trilobed outline of the head of this species is 

 well developed and divided (but not very strongly), the middle 

 lobe about two-thirds of a lateral lobe.
