Long. 4 mm. 



Had. Barrackpore {Rothney'). 



Antennae stout, the apex of the scape, the base of the 

 flagellum distinctly, its middle indistinctly, testaceous ; 

 the scape roundly curved on the under side. Head 

 shining, impunctate ; the antennal tubercles testaceous. 

 Prothorax not quite so long as the head ; the collar 

 obscure testaceous, shagreened, shining. Mesonotum 

 shining, minutely and not very distinctly punctured ; a 

 narrow, but distinct, furrow down the sides opposite the 

 sides of the scutellum, which is shining, impunctate, and 

 with a wide, moderately deep and slightly curved furrow 

 at its base. Median segment closely punctured, most 

 strongly at the base, becoming weaker towards the apex ; 

 down its centre runs a distinct keel which reaches the apex 

 of the basal part ; on either side of this is a narrower, less 

 distinct, keel which reaches to about the middle only ; the 

 apex is sharply oblique. Legs stout, the four anterior 

 knees, tibiae and tarsi, the posterior trochanters, the 

 posterior tibise and tarsi dark testaceous ; the four hinder 

 femora are obscure testaceous in the middle, as are also 

 the trochanters. Abdomen shining, the apices of the 

 second and following segments, and nearly the whole of 

 the last, testaceous. The first basal cellule is sharply 

 oblique, the second (and lower) rounded at the apex.
