Black ; elytra with a large subquadrate patch at base and a 
transverse spot near apex, flavous. 
Head strongly constricted posteriorly, the vertex bituberculate, 
impunctate ; antennae black, reach to the base of the elytra, second 
joint moniliform, third and fourth short and equal, shining, the 
following subquadrately elongate and widened. Thorax black or 
piceous, slightly longer than broad, moderately constricted, the 
anterior angles tuberculate, the sides deeply excavated ; surface 
subyclindrical but rather broad, sometimes with a few minute 
punctures. Scutellum black. Elytra black, with a single row of 
punctures near the suture and another short row near the first at 
the base, the rest of the surface impunctate; the basal portion raised

punctured, with some more regular rows of punctures at the 
middle of the disc, the base with a shallow fovea at middle. Elytra
