Most closely related to Clytemnestra in having the antennal
tubercles contiguous and the front narrowed above. From that
genus, it differs in tbe more slender and less convex form of the
body, only feebly tapering behind j the elytral maculation more
complex, usually baving glabrous maculae and sometimes a median
fascia j and elytra simply punctate.
