row. In the holotype and in all but one of the specimens 
examined, this margin is continuous with the edge of the 
elytra. In one $ the base of the pronotum is slightly wider 
than the base of the elytra. Relatively few rather large 
punctures in the widest part of the dark area at the base 
between the plicae ; disc and lateral areas with a few shal- 
low, scattered punctures. Disc more flattened than in lon- 
gulus. Pronotum narrowed toward the apex but less so 
than in longulus, making the apex greater in width com- 
pared with the base than in longulus. The apex of the pro- 
notum is also slightly wider than the widest part of the head.

Elytra: Yellowish with black maculation consisting of a 
post medial sutural triangular blotch that reaches a point 
between the second and third striae ; less definite dark mark- 
ings in the form of darkened striae on the third and fourth 
striae posterior to the blotch ; and also on the fifth and sixth 
striae opposite the posterior part of the sutural blotch. 
Surface definitely alutaceous in the $ . In the $ the 
surface is extremely minutely punctulate and alutaceous. 
Punctures forming striae spaced well apart and on the 
whole about as deep as on the basal part of the pronotum. 
Apices of the elytra not sinuate. Body narrower than in 
longulus and more parallel, widest only a little in front of 
middle. 
Prosternum: Prosternal process narrowest between the 
anterior part of the fore coxae ; sides margined ; medial area 
not furrowed, slightly convex with relatively few large 
punctures; surface alutaceous.
