Elongated, sub-cylindrical, black, densely punctulate, clothed with a 
thick, silky yellow pubescence ; antennae long, very slender ; prothorax 
sub-quadrate, rounded laterally, little narrowed in front, finely canali- 
culate in the centre ; elytra with a basal dorsal elongate pale yellow band " 
reaching to about one-third of the length and somewhat triangular at 
apex, at about the middle is a transverse strongly bi-sinuate band of the 
same colour and broadly disconnected from the suture, and in the posterior 
part a similar but narrower band ; both these bands are connected along 
the outer margin by a broad band of similar colour running from the base.

pubescence ; head and prothorax densely punctate ; antennas moderately 
slender ; prothorax broad, little convex, deeply impressed transversely 
past the anterior border ; elytra densely rugosely punctulate and having 
on each side a slightly slanting dorsal basal band connected along the 
base with a humeral band running along the outer margin and connected 
there with an ante-median transverse somewhat narrow band reaching 
the suture, and very slightly sinuate ; past the middle is a similar but 
narrower band, and a somewhat broader quite apical one ; these bands 
are orange-yellow and densely punctate.
