briate beneath on proximal five segments; seape robust, strongly clavate on apical
half, especially internally, coarsely transversely rugose basally; third segment more
than half again as long as first, robust, very feebly sinuous; fourth and following
slender, gradually shorter, from sixth subequal in length.
FEMALE. Much more robust; antennal tubercles with a short broad tooth at
apex; procoxae about as in m:lle; profemora very finely rugose; fifth sternite nearly
twice length of fourth, ape."< truncate, at middle of base a. broad, deep impressed
line extending to center, apical half slightly flattened; antennae equal to body in
lengt.h, scape and third segment alender, the former not rugose, the latter distinctly
sinuous.

Very distinct from the preoeding species in the maculation of
elytra which consists of small, irregular, ochraceous maculae on
basal half, apically maculae much finer and more numerous j antennae
not annUlate, elongate; antennal horns slender, very acute.
?I'IALE. Elongate-ovate, rather robust, suhcylindrical ; piceous, covered with
brown and ochraceous pubescence. Head ochraceous pubescent, each side of middle
above with a short, broad, brown vitta; front with two broad vittae and genal
atripe, brown. Pronotum ochrnceous, with a number of rounded, brown spota as
filllows: a basal row of five, a row of six before middle, and four along anterior
ma.rgin. Scutellum brown, margined at sides with hoary, very broadly so basally.
Elytrn brown pubescent, entire disk with numerous, irregular, ochraceoua maculae,
those on basal half larger and denser, apically finer and less coalescent, anterior
margin narrowly edged with hoary, and the apical maculae are finely outlined with
the same color. Body beneath dark reddish-brown and fuscous, thinly covered with
pale ochraccous-gray pubescence, becoming deeper on sides; metasternum laterally
at middle with an irregular denuded spot; abdomen on each side \vith two rows of
maculae composed of more concentrated pubescence, one along lateral margin and
one midway between the latter and the middle, medially a double row of similar but
very indistinct maculae. Legs dark reddish-brown, clothed with hoary and dark
brown pubescence; tarsal cla.w segment concolorous. Antennae at base of scape
fuscous, rest dark reddish·brown, gradually and slightly paler distally; entirely
oovered with thin fulvous and gray pubescence, except on scape where it is dark
brown with sparse hoary hairs interspersed.
