Elytra dark grayish-brown pubc.scent, at extreme base irregularly marked with
tawny or ochraceous; at middle base (forming a common macula) mottled with
whitish; each elytron with an oblique, whitish fascia, moderately wide, from be­
neath humeri to suture, widest laterally ; apical third more or le;;s mottled with
whitish. Beneath medium rcddishbrowll to fuscous; entire undersurface medially
yellowish-gray, on sterna lnterally broadly brownish, this continues on to stcrnit..cs
where it is morc or less broken into indistinct, irregular macui!Le; sterna at sides
wih several irregular maculae and each sternite with a row of elongate m:1culae
(one on each sternite either side) of tawny or orange-tawny pubescence; entire
undersurface with very sm[lll, sparse, round, brownish punctures. Legs dark red­
dish-brown to [uscous, t[lwny or pinkishtawllY p'lbescent, femora broadly vittate
nt middle, narrowly so at apex, with brownish. Antennae [uscous, from fourth seg­
ment DaS31 halvea paler; seape paler, with grayish or tawny pubescence, at apex
with :m irregular, dark brown macula; from fourth with basal halves gmyish pubes­
cent, apical halves dark brown pubescent.
Bend above minutely alutaccous, with a median impressed line from occiput
to just below middle on front; front 8ubquadrate, sides neMly straight, very feebly
narrower at epistoma, di£k with scattered, coarse punctures; genae elongate, sur­
face finely alut,aceous, with II few coarse punctures; eye with lower lobe oblong­
ovate, subequal to gena in length; antennal tubercles prominent, only very feebly
produced at apex. Pronotum transverse, sides nearly straight, frebly oblique, a
small tubercle at middle placed ncar proeoxal cavities; apex !!lightly narrower than
base; b.,sal and IIpical transverse sulci broad and shallow, bas:11 one oblique later­
lilly; disk with five tubercles, onc at middle, elongate, feebly elevated, from basal
sulcus to just beyond middle, one either side of middle more apical, small, rounded
and more elevated, one either side slightly more lateral, transverse and well ele­
vated; entire disk with scattered coarse punctures. Scutellum t·ransvcrse, sides
straight, oblique, apex subtruncate, sometimes notched medially. Elytra with sides
llearly straight, feebly attenuate apically; apices each rounded ; each eiytron at base
with a well-dcfined gibbNity, disk on bal half with coarse, deep, well-spaced punc­
tures, sometimes those nearest base are granulate-punctnte, remaining half of disk
somewhat more finely punct:l.te; humeri prominent, anterior margin moderately arcu­
ate, angle with a large, very obtuse tubercle. Prosternum narrow, very gradually
widened beh.ind procoxae ; mesosternal process broad, only very slightly widened
apicnl1y, where it is bilobedly emarginate; fifth sternite nhout balf again as long as
fourth, broadly rounded apically. Procoxae globo:e, internally with a very small
but distinct tubercle; prolemora robwt, very gradually clavate from base, baS311y
with only a few transverse rugosities, remaining femora more abruptly clavate ;
meso- and mctatibiae dilated apically; protarsi dilated. Antennae about onc Imd
one-half timea body length; .scape 3trongly clavate from middle, reaching to middle
of pronotum, sevcrnl deep grooves internally at base; third segment mtller robust,
only slightly longer than scape, feebly sinuate; succeeding segments gradunlly
shorter; fimbriate moderately on first nnd third, slightly on fourth and fifth seg­
ment-s.
FEMALE. More robwt; antennal tubercles very minutely produced; proster­
num slightly wider; fifth sternite one-half longer than fourth, broodly, shallowly,
triangularly impressed apically; procoxae not tubercled; profemora. not rugose
