Prothorax, elytra and abdomen red, the last somewhat darker in colour at the base of the first segment: head, antennae, legs, meso- and metathorax black. Head finely and very densely punctulate above, less densely and less finely punctate in front. Antenna) about as long as the body; first joint densely rugulose-punctulate ; fifth to tenth compressed, moderately broad, angulated at the apex on the anterior side. Prothorax subnitid, slightly protuberant at the middle of each side, narrowed towards the apex and to a less extent towards the base, transversely and rather deeply striated o\'er the upper surface, the stria? slightly irregular in places, with some small punctures scattered amongst them ; the sides also striated, with the striiB more or less curved or oblique, and the punctures more densely placed. Elytra slightly nitid. very sparsely covered with short red pubescence, rather strongly and very thickly punctured ; the punctures a little larger and more distinct n<iar the base and gradually smaller towards the apex; the lateral margins rather strongly sinuate near the base. Meso- and metathorax densely and rather strongly punctured ; the abdomen more finely punctate. JMiddle and hind femora feebly cariuate on each side near the base, the clavate portions slightly angulate on the ventral side and fringed with short grey hairs; the hind femora do not extend past the second segment of the abdomen. Tibiae slightly curved, the middle ones thickened beneath at the apex. Length c? 13; breadth 3 mm. Hah. Chutia Nagpur: Xowatoli {R. P. Cardon). Tvpe in coll. R. Oberthiir. M.
