Long. 7 mm.

 from which it may be known by the mesonotum being 

 more coarsely punctured and having besides two stout 

 longitudinal furrows.

 behind the eyes, almost less than their length ; strongly 

 punctured ; thickly covered with long white hairs ; the 

 mandibles ferruginous before the teeth ; the palpi dark 

 fuscous. Antennae stout ; the scape grooved beneath ; 

 sparsely covered with long pale hair ; the flagellum 

 thickly covered with fuscous down. Pronotum strongly 

 and closely punctured ; the mesonotum strongly punc- 

 tured ; and with the punctures more widely separated ; 

 the longitudinal furrows wide and continuous ; the 

 scutellum less strongly punctured than the mesonotum ; 

 the median segment with a gradually rounded slope ; 

 strongly reticulated. Pleurae coarsely punctured ; the 

 base of the metapleurae impunctate, the apex reticulated. 

 The basal abdominal segment very coarsely punctured ; 

 the second less strongly, the other segments almost 

 impunctate, and rather densely covered with long white 

 hairs. The basal ventral segment coarsely punctured, 

 without a keel ; the second rather strongly punctured ; 

 the others finely and closely punctured at the apex ; the 

 apical segment closely punctured, without any depression.
