tooth before and behind the emarginations, the bind angles rather 

 obtuse; elytra subparallel, rather finely and sornewhat thickly

 — an oblique stripe extending from the Shoulders nearly to the

 slightly raised line in the centre, the sides very feebly emarginate 

 behind, the bind angles distinct; elytra subparallel, rather closely, 

 shallowly, and finely punctured, the punctures coarser towards
