Male : Fuscous, with the under side antennae and legs piceous, or 

 fuscous with the sides of the prothorax the elytra and abdomen 

 testaceous-red ; head and clypeus covered with deep, almost con- 

 tiguous punctures separated by sharp walls, and briefly pubescent, 

 the punctures on the frontal part and on the vertex are almost 

 scrobiculate, the latter is somewhat densely pubescent, the ledge on 

 the vertex is plainer in some examples than in others, and there is 

 also occasionally a faint longitudinal prominence in the centre of the 

 frontal part ; prothorax closely shagreened, densely hairy, the hairs 

 flavous, rounded and ampliated laterally in the median part, sinuate 

 in the posterior, and with the basal angles distinct, base moderately 

 sinuate and having a dense fringe of short hairs ; scutellum cordate, 

 densely pubescent ; elytra parallel, slightly broader at the shoulders 

 than at the base of the prothorax, depressed on the dorsal part, 

 briefly ciliate along the outer margins, closely shagreened, clothed 

 with a fine, very short appressed flavescent pubescence, plainly 

 striate along the suture only, but having also some irregular, very 

 faint longitudinal striae or costules ; propygidium finely aciculate ; 

 pygidium scabroso-punctate and faintly pubescent ; abdominal seg- 

 ments, scabroso-punctate, briefly pubescent ; pectus and femora 

 clothed with a long and very dense flavescent pubescence; tibiae 

 villose ; hind ones deeply punctate, upper spur lanceolate ; basal 

 tarsal joint longer than the following, and much wider ; penultimate 

 abdominal segment very much wider than the one preceding. 



Female : " Differs from the probable male in colour and clothing, 

 particularly in the structure of the legs, the antennal club is rela- 

 tively smaller and dark ; it is more convex, the colour is not black, 

 but light chestnut-brown, the punctures are weaker, the hairy cloth- 

 ing reddish-yellow, and less distinct above than underneath and at 

 the sides ; on the head the keel which divides the vertex from the
