Very similar to Apod, cygneus, but much larger, and darker in 
coloration ; head more elongate and convex ; neck evidently transversely 
strigose and punctate, especially at the sides. Thorax not exactly 
straightly conic, as in that species, a little rounded at the sides, with 
the anterior and posterior strangulations deeper. Elytra proportionally 
broader and shorter, more deeply punctate-striate, with the interstices 
evidently convex ; their lateral punctures under the base are fewer, 
larger and foveiform. Thorax beneath transversely finely, anterior 
coxce more strongly, strigose. Pectus deeply punctate-rugose. Abdo¬ 
men and pygidium more strongly punctate than in Cygneus.
