  the 
  whole 
  of 
  the 
  discoidal 
  part, 
  the 
  elytra 
  have 
  a 
  fuscous 
  band 
  along 
  

   the 
  scutellum 
  and 
  the 
  suture, 
  and 
  the 
  outer 
  margin 
  is 
  also 
  slightly 
  

   infuscate, 
  but 
  as 
  often 
  as 
  not 
  the 
  surface 
  is 
  infuscate 
  with 
  the 
  

   exception 
  of 
  a 
  somewhat 
  broad 
  supra-marginal 
  testaceous 
  band 
  ; 
  

   clypeus 
  sub-parabolic 
  but 
  a 
  little 
  obtuse 
  in 
  front, 
  and 
  slightly 
  

   attenuate 
  and 
  rounded 
  laterally 
  in 
  the 
  male, 
  less 
  so 
  in 
  the 
  female, 
  

   very 
  closely 
  and 
  somewhat 
  roughly 
  punctate 
  all 
  over 
  the 
  head 
  ; 
  

   prothorax 
  covered 
  with 
  deep, 
  round, 
  very 
  closely 
  set 
  punctures 
  ; 
  

   elytra 
  very 
  deeply 
  punctato-striate 
  and 
  with 
  all 
  the 
  intervals 
  dis- 
  

   tinctly 
  costate 
  and 
  smooth, 
  on 
  the 
  second 
  interval 
  there 
  are 
  only 
  a 
  

   few 
  punctures 
  near 
  the 
  base, 
  the 
  inner 
  claw 
  of 
  the 
  anterior 
  and 
  

   intermediate 
  tarsi 
  is 
  cleft 
  in 
  both 
  sexes, 
  and 
  the 
  anterior 
  one 
  is 
  very 
  

   broad 
  in 
  the 
  male 
  ; 
  the 
  pygidium 
  in 
  both 
  sexes 
  is 
  covered 
  with 
  

   almost 
  confluent, 
  sub-scrobiculate, 
  somewhat 
  deep 
  punctures, 
  and 
  

   the 
  abdomen 
  is 
  very 
  little 
  pubescent 
  ; 
  the 
  anterior 
  tibiae 
  are 
  

   bi-dentate 
  in 
  the 
  female, 
  but 
  have 
  a 
  third 
  short 
  basal 
  angular 
  

   tooth 
  in 
  the 
  male.

  The

  with 
  testaceous 
  elytra 
  and 
  sutural 
  infuscate 
  band 
  

   resemble 
  very 
  much

  the 
  males 
  are

  the 
  broader 
  inner 
  anterior 
  claw.

  Pale 
  testaceous, 
  with 
  the 
  head 
  chestnut-brown, 
  shining, 
  but 
  not 
  

   metallic, 
  and 
  having 
  the 
  suture 
  and 
  the 
  outer 
  margin 
  of 
  the 
  elytra 
  

   very 
  narrowly 
  darker 
  ; 
  head 
  very 
  closely 
  and 
  deeply 
  punctured, 
  

   clypeus 
  shagreened, 
  distinctly 
  attenuate 
  laterally 
  towards 
  the 
  anterior 
  

   part 
  which 
  is 
  sub-truncate 
  with 
  the 
  angles 
  broadly 
  rounded 
  ; 
  pro- 
  

   thorax 
  of 
  the 
  normal 
  shape 
  and 
  having 
  only 
  seven 
  setigerous 
  

   punctures 
  along 
  the 
  outer 
  margin, 
  covered 
  with 
  dense, 
  deep, 
  

   round 
  punctures, 
  slightly 
  cicatricose, 
  and 
  smaller 
  and 
  still 
  more 
  

   closely 
  set 
  along 
  the 
  anterior 
  margin, 
  in 
  the 
  male 
  there 
  is 
  a 
  very 
  

   narrow 
  smooth 
  longitudinal 
  band, 
  and 
  a 
  short, 
  impressed 
  line 
  in 
  the 
  

   female 
  ; 
  scutellum 
  with 
  punctures 
  of 
  nearly 
  the 
  same 
  size 
  as 
  those 
  

   on 
  the 
  prothorax, 
  but 
  a 
  little 
  less 
  closely 
  set 
  ; 
  elytra 
  a 
  little 
  elongate 
  

   and 
  not 
  much 
  ampliate 
  laterally 
  past 
  the 
  median 
  part 
  in 
  the 
  female, 
  

   deeply 
  punctato-striate 
  and 
  with 
  the 
  four 
  juxta-sutural 
  intervals
