antennae pale fulvous, extending below the middle of the elytra, 
the last two joints stained with fuscous at the apex, third and 
fourth joints equal, following joints more elongate. Thorax about 
twice as broad as long, the sides rounded at the base and somewhat 
suddenly narrowed towards the apex ; the disc convex, remotely 
and finely punctured with some still more minute punctures on 
the interstices, the sides with a distinct reflexed margin. Scutel- 
lum triangular, impunctate. Elytra very convex, closely impressed 
with strong punctures which are arranged regularly close to the 
suture and near the apex, but much more irregularly so over the 
rest of the disc, they are much larger on the sides ; the interstices 
nearly throughout transversely rugose, especially on the sides. 
Legs fulvous ; the femora unarmed.

Principally distinguished by the nearly black underside and 
the close and deep puncturation of the elytra and their rugose 
interstices.

A . Head obscure fulvous, with a few very minute punctures 
near the eyes ; clypeus not separated from the face, nearly 
smooth ; antennae pale fulvous, extending beyond the middle of 
the elytra, with a short twelfth joint, third and following joints 
slender, equal, terminal joints slightly shorter. Thorax rather 
more than twice as broad as long, strongly narrowed in front, the 
sides slightly rounded, the angles acute but not produced ; the 
surface smooth, piceous, shining, very sparingly impressed with a 
few minute punctures, the disc with a slight metallic greenish 
gloss (sometimes absent). Elytra strongly punctured in c’osely 
approximate rather regular rows which are doubled near the 
suture but become single towards the apex where three or four 
of the rows are distinct; at the sides the puncturation is more 
irregular. Underside and legs fulvous ; the anterior femora dilated 
into a strong tooth, the posterior femora armed with a smaller 
tooth.
