A lai'ge and elongate but typic-.il J 'oli/phrades ; distinguiKhed 

 l)y its uniform fuscous-brown vestiture, its elytral suture strongly 

 elevated behind, and the very coarse veriniculate sculpture of its 

 prothorax, which closely resembles the prothoracic sculpture of 

 Leptops tribulas, Fab. The posterior declivity of the elytra is 

 nearly perpendicular, .and the outline of the elytra, \-ie\ve(l from 

 the side, is gently sinuate in its declivous part.

The coppery scales form some interrupted irregular vittie on 

 the head and rostrum, and some small ill-defined spots on the 

 prothorax and elytra ; the whitish scales are chiefly on the sides 

 of the rostrum, head, pi'othorax, and metasternum, and along the 

 top of the lateral declivous part of the elytra, form a ring round 

 each of the fenioi'a, and are somewhat condensed about the apex
