are callose ; sides rather widened towards the middle, then nearly to the 
apex nearly straight, scarcely narrowed ; afterwards roundly angustate 
towards the apex, which is semicircular in each elytron ; sutural angle 
rounded ; rather convex ; punctate-striate, punctures more distant and 
deeper at the base, gradually closer and smaller towards the apex ; inter¬ 
stices transversely rugulose, more regular and approximate towards the 
apex ; black ; having a large fascia interrupted near the suture, rising from 
under the base behind the shoulders, ending at the middle of the elytra, 
where it is somewhat rounded, also obsoletely extended near the base in its 
middle, and formed of yellowish gray pile. 
Pygidium subovate, obtusely pointed at the apex, oblique, convex, 
more than half the length of the elytra, longer than the thorax ; punctate- 
rugose, covered with a rather dense yellowish gray pile. 
Body beneath punctulate, covered with a light silvery gray pile. 
Legs punctulate : anterior small, slender, flavescent-ferruginous: thighs 
clavate, with a small tooth inside before the apex : tihice enlarged towards 
the tip, w'hich is truncate and terminated by the four ordinary short spines ;
