Praecedenti simile, ejus capite, thorace et tarsis, facillime tamen distin- 

 guendum antennis apicem versus incrassatis articulis magis magisque 

 ovatis, art. 2° sequente longiore, 3-4 subsequalibus subcylindricis, reli-

 et his basi apiceque sensim obsoletis, ante et infra medium ad striam 3 m 

 puncto pilifero impressis, impressione semicirculari apicali ut in prsece-

In prov. occid. communissimum. 



Easily distinguished from the former, to which it is allied, 

 by size, color and the incrassated antenna?. The elytra, more- 

 over, shew only three distinct striae on either side of the suture, 

 two more, however, being justtraceahle. They are obsolete at 

 the base, apex and towards the margin. "Within the latter there 

 is an additional deep stria, entire, and not as in the preceding- 

 two species only from the middle to the apex. The semicircular 

 impression of the apex, however, is the same, so are the tarsi, etc.
