canaliculato et inter oculos transversini impresso, minute coriaceo 
et punctis majoribus obscuris sparsim impresso ; prothorace quam 
longiori plus duplo latiori, antice et postice transversim (et 
utrinque longitudinaliter) impresso, capiti similiter punctulato ;

The tarsi of this species are scarcely inf uscate. Of the antennte 
joints 1 and 2 are testaceous, 3-6 increasingly stained with piceous, 
the rest entii’ely piceous ; joint 2 is short, 3 and 4 equal. On the 
prothorax the sublateral longitudinal impressions connect the ends 
of the transverse impressions, so that an oblong transverse discal 
space, is enclosed. The elytra, as compared with those of allied 
species, are rather strongly punctured, the head and prothorax 
exceptionally feebly. The insect bears a considerable superficial 
re.semblance to a Silphomorpha.
