 long. corp. | lin. 



Antennas art. 3-8 fere subasqualibus excepto 5o parurn longiore, 8<>

A pretty little species, at once distinguished by its color 

 which is chestnut, darker at the base and suture of the elytra, 

 and light, more or less brownish or yellowish, below, the 

 antennae being of the latter color with a nigrescent club. 

 The occiput is slightly narrowed, the head altogether plump, 

 heavy and transverse. The antennal club is composed of 3 

 subglobose joints the last of which is acuminated and slightly 

 cut away on one side as in some of the preceding species. 

 The thorax is obovate, broadest below the middle and gradu- 

 ally narrowed towards the apex. The elytra have the usual 

 2 shoulder-ridges and are rather strongly dehiscent at the 

 apex, The 2 posterior coxae are rather distant at the base ; 

 the tibise are slightly angustated and subcylindric at the 

 apex, the 4 anterior ones hairy, the first pair moreover 

 slightly bent at the base and apex, but the rest nearly straight.
