Elavous ; antennse (basal joints excepted), tibiae and tarsi 
blackish. Elytra with a broad black transverse band at middle. 
Head closely and finely punctured, with a round, deep fovea on 
the middle ; anterior margin of the clypeus nearly straight, the 
latter deeply separated from the face by a transverse groove ; 
antennse extended to the base of the elytra, the basal two 
joints flavous, the following two piceous, all shining, the others 
transversely widened, opaque. Thorax about one-half broader 
than long, the disc slightly swollen on each side, without distinct 
sulci, posterior angles not produced, slightly tuberculiform, the 
surface rather strongly and remotely punctured. Scutellum 
broader than long, the apex with a longitudinal groove. Elytra 
pale fulvous, with some sparingly distributed black stiff hairs, 
scarcely more strongly punctured than the thorax, with a broad 
black band from before the middle to behind the latter that extends 
down some distance at the lateral margins, its lower edge deeply 
dentate. Beneath and the femora" flavous, tibiae and tarsi black ;

posterior sulcus and four black spots placed 
one below the other on the sides, the an-

more transverse in shape than those placed 
near the base. Elytra finely punctured, 
clothed with fulvous pubescence, inter-

placed on the shoulder, one transversely 
on the middle, not extending to the suture,
