Elavous ; thorax with a transverse black band ; elytra with a 
small spot at base and an elongate sutural spot in the middle, 
piceous ; body beneath more or less piceous. 
Head finely punctured, base of vertex more or less black or 
with a central black spot ; clypeus broadly transverse, scarcely 
separated from the face, strongly punctured ; antennae black, 
basal four joints flavous, third shorter than the fourth, rest 
slender. Thorax nearly twice as broad as long, sides rounded ; 
surface very finely and rather closely punctured, a narrow 
transverse piceous band in the middle, strongly constricted at each 
end. Elytra bayous, elongate, with a shallow basal depression ; 
surface punctate-striate, punctures finer towards the apex, base 
with a piceous spot in the middle, suture with another spot of 
variable size, often very narrow. Beneath piceous ; legs flavous. 
Var. Thorax and elytra without spots.

Pale fulvous or testaceous ; terminal joints of antennae piceous. 
Head entirely impunctate ; clypeus more or less distinctly 
separated from the face ; antennae with the five or six basal 
joints pale, rest piceous, basal joint short and thick, second

nearly similar length. Thorax scarcely half as broad again as 
long, sides nearly straight, angles acute, posterior margin feebly' 
produced at the middle. Scuteilum ovate. Elytra wider at the 
base than the thorax, with a very feeble depression below the

In several specimens before me, the thorax has some few 
shallow punctures, in others these are entirely absent; in the 
latter specimens the antennae are rather longer and the thorax is 
less transverse. These are probably the males.
