Long. 9.7 mm., lat. 5.

This and the following species, remarkable for the close, 
creamy-white, tomentose vitta on each side of prothorax, have 
the rostrum separated from the frons by an obtuse, angular 
furrow which coincides with the median furrow of the former. 
The present species is prevailingly dull black, the anterior and 
posterior margins of prothorax finely bordered with ferruginous 
tomentum. Rostrum rugulose, punctate on the apical part; 
second joint of funicle about as long as the four following joints 
together, the last three spheric and feebly transverse, club ovate, 
one and one-half times longer than broad ; thorax hardly broader 
than long (4.6 : 4.4), nearly conical, sparsely and finely punc- 
tate, toward the sides more coarsely so; in the apical half, 
on each side of the median line, with a linear, anteriorly con- 
verging impression, elytra lacunose-seriate-punctate, the punc- 
tures at least as large as: the breadth of intervals, bearing a 
testaceous scale bristle within; suture in first quarter with a 
circular, granulose callosity which surrounds scutellum, and 
another before the declivity which is carinate and constricted 
at the middle; other more or less elliptic callosities before and 
behind the middle of second and fourth intervals, larger on the 
latter; moreover, the anterior half of the intervals bears some 
minute, agglomerated granules; below, especially the abdomen, 
closely testaceous setose, legs more sparsely so.
