Pale fulvous ; antennae (the basal joints excepted) and tarsi 
black ; posterior portion of the elytra more or less pale. 
Head shining, impressed with a few very 
minute punctures, a fovea between the 
eyes ; anterior margin of clypeus concavely 
emarginate ; antennae extending to the base 
of the thorax, basal four joints fulvous, 
third joint very small, much smaller 
than second. Thorax quite twice as 
broad as long, sides strongly rounded and 
narrowed in front, angles obsolete, posterior 
margin straight at sides, median lobe very 
slightly produced, surface entirely im- 
punctate, shining. Scutellum triangular, 
pointed. Elytra parallel-sided, finely 
punctured in irregular rows that diminish in depth towards apex. 
Body beneath clothed with yellowish pubescence, the breast often 
darker. 
Length 3-5 mm. 
Hab. Southern Bombay : Belgaum ; Malabar Coast ; Ceylon. 
Burma : Bhamo, Karennee. 
This species has by an oversight been described under two 
different names, the first of which only can stand ; the pale colour, 
elytral puncturation arranged in rows and the black tarsi well 
distinguish the insect.
