Long. 15 ; terebra 10 mm. 



Antennae black, the scape yellow, black in the middle 

 above. Head black, the inner orbits from opposite the 

 lower ocellus, the face, clypeus, palpi and mandibles, 

 yellow ; there is a large black mark on the face below the 

 antennae ; the mandibular teeth are black ; the face and 

 clypeus are strongly punctured. The vertex is punctured, 

 but not closely or deeply ; the front is more shining and 

 transversely striated. Thorax closely and strongly 

 punctured; the scutellum is, if anything, more strongly 

 punctured than the mesonotum ; the sides and apex are 

 strongly striated, the striae distinctly separated and 

 extending to shortly below the middle, the lower space 

 being smooth. The postscutellum is represented by a 

 semi-circular keel, the part between being hollowed ; 

 behind, it is rugose. Pleurae strongly and closely punc- 

 tured; the middle of the mesopleurae is longitudinally 

 striated ; behind the striations, smooth ; on the lower side 

 of the mesopleurae and extending to the middle is a 

 striated furrow. On the median segment are two central 

 areae ; the basal being the shorter ; its base is transverse 

 in the middle ; it becomes obliquely wider, then becomes 

 gradually narrowed, the keels bounding the narrowed part 

 being slightly curved, not straight like the basal ; its apical 

 half is transversely striated; the apical area is more 

 strongly transversely striated. The basal outer area is 

 closely and finely punctured; the apical is transversely 

 rugose ; the spiracular area is distinctly defined, of equal 

 width throughout, and is closely transversely rugose ; its 

 apex is rounded and ends opposite the base of the middle 

 coxae; behind it is a narrow area, reaching to the hinder 

 coxae ; inside, this area is coarsely rugose. The basal and
