cj . Disk of the prothorax with two distinct, obtuse, longi- 
tudinal elevations, leaving a channel between ; these eleva- 
tions, the included channel, and a narrow oblique fascia on 
each side just anterior to the postero-lateral spine are all 
glossy and sparsely punctured ; the rest of the surface of the 
pronotum is dull and finely and very closely punctured ; the 
anterior margin of the prothorax is provided with a yellowish- 
white silky fringe. Scutellum somewhat semicircular and 
clothed with a dense yellowish-white silky pubescence. The 
elytra, at the base blackish, are for the rest of their extent of 
a reddish-ferruginous colour, and are entirely covered with 
closely-placed and rather strong punctures ; the apical mar- 
gins are faintly denticulate. A thick yellowish-white silky 
pubescence clothes the anterior coxae and sides of the meso- 
sternum, and forms a fascia on each of the metathoracic 
epimera, an oblique fascia on each side of the metasternum, 
and a longitudinal fascia on each side of the abdomen. The 
V -shaped figure thus formed on each side of the metathorax 
encloses a highly polished and impunctate space on the side 
of the metasternum. The middle regions of the sterna and 
abdomen are nitid and sparsely punctured. The abdomen is 
of a chestnut-brown colour. The legs are blackish and rather 
thickly punctured. The anterior tibiae are furnished with a 
rather dense villosity underneath towards their distal end ;
