behind ; upper surface rather strongly and rugosely sculptured

 legs red or testaceous, with the tibiae in part, and the tarsi, and 

 occasionally the apex of the femora, darker ; metasternum striate 

 at the sides.

This insect is somewhat variable in one or two respects ; the 

 pronotum is occasionally somewhat abruptly contracted in front 

 and there is a rather distinct short collum, and the striation, 

 which is, as a rule, very strong, is sometimes very little marked : 

 this applies also to the striation of the head and of the meta- 

 sternum ; occasionally there is a slight transverse furrow at the 

 base of the eyes.
