  short 
  appressed 
  greyish 
  white 
  hairs, 
  set 
  

   somewhat 
  close 
  to 
  each

  ; 
  head 
  normally 
  scabroso- 
  

   punctate, 
  clypeus 
  semicircular, 
  suture 
  distinct, 
  the 
  hairs 
  on 
  the 
  head 
  

   and 
  prothorax 
  are 
  plainly 
  squamose, 
  thicker 
  and 
  longer 
  than 
  those 
  

   on 
  the 
  elytra';

  the 
  sheath 
  is 
  open 
  only 
  at 
  the
