Black. Head impunctate, but finely rugose between the 

 antenna?, with an elongate fovea on each side, in which the 

 rugosities almost take the appearance of punctures; antennae 

 black and piceous towards the apex; clypeus smooth and 

 elevated in the middle. The thorax may rather be described 

 as truncate-cordate than as hexagonal, but as both the an- 

 terior and posterior portions of the lateral margins are some- 

 what straight, either expression may be used without being 

 inconsistent with the truth ; it is faintly and not very closely 

 punctured, sparingly pilose ; the margins refiexed ; the dorsal 

 line distinct, but reaching neither to the front nor the base ; a 

 deep longitudinal fovea is on each side of it at the base ; the 

 base is truncate, a broad space in the middle projecting very 

 slightly backwards; the anterior angles are narrow, and pro- 

 ject a little, and are rounded; the posterior angles are right- 

 angled, and have the usual excised tooth. Scutellum small and 

 impunctate, with the sides gently curved. Elytra convex and 

 obovate, pilose or pubescent, deeply punctate-striate, the punc- 

 tures faint; the interstices are convex and finely punctate; 

 the spots are red, with a tinge of vermilion ; the anterior 

 occupies four interstitial spaces (the 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th), 

 and also the marginal space, but not the raised margin, which 

 is prominent ; the posterior spot occupies the same striae, but 

 not the marginal space; the spots are of the same texture 

 as the rest of the elytra, and are not raised ; the marginal 

 space might be called the last interstitial space, as it is broad 

 and raised like the rest, but in addition to the fine punc- 

 tuation found in the interstitial spaces, it has a series of larger 

 pits of various sizes, with a raised point in their middle ; the 

 hairs are piceous, except on the red spots, where they are 

 red; they are red on the under side of the body, which is 

 sparsely punctured on the presternum, breast, and sides of the 

 segments of the abdomen (their middle portion being slightly 

 aciculated). The tarsi are piceous.
