The general colour is a kind of pitchy ferruginous much shot 
vrith pale greenish iridescence on the underside, the head and the 
prothorax. The general colour of the elytra is of a more decidedly 
ferruginous tone than that of other parts of the body and their 
iridescence is coppery rather than green ; the antenuEe are entirely 
ferruginous ; the legs vary from dark ferruginous to dark piceous 
in colour, the femora in many examples being jeneous, and the 
tarsi rarely as darkly coloured as the tibife. The puncturation of 
the head is close, rather fine, and very rugose, but much obscured 
by a clothing of shori adpressed shining grey haii's. The separa- 
tion of the clvpeus from the front is hardly traceable. The 
basal joint of the. antennae is moderately stout, the 2nd much 
more slender and a little more than half as long, the 3rd more 
slender still and about equal to the 1st in length, the 4th and 
following joints scarcely longer, the apical four a little compressed 
and dilated. The prothorax is a little less than half again as wide 
as long, the base a little less than half again as \ride as the front 
margin, the sides rounded (not at all angulated) with their edges 
appearing crenulated owing to the rugosity of the puncturation of 
the .surface, the hind angles acute, the front angles little marked. 
The scutellum is finely and not closely puuctulate. The surface ot 
the elytra is quite free from rugosities, and shows scarcely any 
intlication of transverse sculpture in any light, its puncturation
