  the 
  antennae 
  are 
  yellow 
  ; 
  the 
  anterior 
  part 
  of 
  the 
  prothorax 
  has 
  a 
  

   very 
  shallow 
  longitudinal 
  groove, 
  the 
  short 
  scutellum 
  is 
  clothed 
  with 
  

   a 
  few 
  greyish 
  hairs, 
  the 
  elytra 
  are 
  light 
  testaceous, 
  transparent, 
  

   regularly 
  punctured 
  but 
  with 
  the 
  punctures 
  distant, 
  each 
  puncture 
  

   bearing 
  an 
  appressed 
  greyish 
  hair, 
  they 
  are 
  at 
  the 
  humeral 
  part 
  as 
  

   broad 
  as 
  the 
  under 
  side, 
  and 
  they 
  are 
  thence 
  attenuate, 
  leaving 
  the 
  

   edge 
  of 
  the 
  dorsal 
  part 
  of 
  the 
  abdominal 
  segments 
  uncovered, 
  on 
  the 
  

   apical 
  border 
  they 
  have 
  a 
  band 
  of 
  yellow 
  scales, 
  similar 
  to 
  those 
  

   which 
  clothe 
  the 
  pygidium 
  where 
  they 
  are 
  mixed 
  with 
  hairs 
  ; 
  legs 
  

   brown, 
  thighs 
  darker, 
  clothed 
  with 
  long 
  greyish 
  hairs, 
  the 
  posterior 
  

   tibiae 
  show 
  distinctly 
  to 
  which 
  sex 
  the 
  species 
  belongs, 
  in 
  the 
  male 
  

   the 
  hind 
  tibiae 
  have 
  on 
  the 
  upper 
  side 
  a 
  tooth 
  or 
  hook 
  pointing 
  

   inwardly 
  and 
  set 
  close 
  to 
  the 
  knee, 
  they 
  are 
  mucronate 
  on 
  each 
  side 
  

   at 
  the 
  apex, 
  but 
  the 
  inner 
  mucro 
  is 
  the 
  longest, 
  there 
  is 
  no 
  apical 
  

   spur 
  ; 
  the 
  tarsi 
  are 
  not 
  long, 
  and 
  have 
  a 
  single, 
  simple 
  claw, 
  but 
  

   those 
  of 
  the 
  intermediate 
  ones 
  are 
  double."
