Distinguislled from the other members of the genus by the well·
elevated gibbosity on base of each elytron, which has two more or
less irregular rows of large granules (two to four in each row).
MALE. Elongate-ovate, robust, convex; black, covered by fulvougray pubescence,
mottled with dark brown. Scutellum brown pubescent, narrowly edged
laternUy with dark fulvous. Elytra on basal third dark grayish-brown pubescent,
paler on apical portion, at middle of each disk II. large indistinct macula of pale
tawny, at apical third nearer suture another one more indistinct and a little
smaller; entire apical two-thirds with rounded, dark brown maculae, rather sparsely
placed. Body beneath black, covered with grayish-fulvous, mottled with da rk
brown. Legs and antennae dark·brown, thinly grayish-fulvous pubescent, mottled
with deep brown.
Head above alutaceous, with a median impr"cssed line extending down three­
Courths length of front; latter roughly transversely rugo...«e, concave and very
narrow between antennai tubercles; genae transverse, minutely, den...o:ely punctate,
with se.,ttered coarser punctures; eye with lower lobe oblong, very broad and twice
the height of gena; antenna! tubercles' prominent, approximate, at apex shortly
and bluntly produced. Pronotum transverse, sides feebly arcuate, narrowed apica.lly,
with a very short, obtuse tubercle behind middle each side; disk at middle near
