Varies in colour from black to reddish brown, not very densely covered with short pubescence of a greyish or brownish-grey tint. Head with a median impressed line or groove above, between the eyes. Antennae not quite so long as the body in the $ , and from one and a half times to nearly twice as long as the body in the 6, fringed with short delicate grey hairs beneath ; third and fonrth joints nodose at the apex, the third nuich longer than the fourth ; fifth to tenth compressed and angu- lated anteriorly at the apex. Prothorax rounded at the sides, somewhat constricted in front, irregularly and not very strongly wrinkled above in a general tr?rsverse direction, marked on the disc with some feeble longitudinal and oblique grooves which together form a somewhat crown- shaped impression. Elytra truncate at the apex, with a short spine from each at the sutural angle ; the pubescence covering them more or less glossy, and generally somewhat thinner on each side in front of the middle so that the colour of the underlying derm becomes more apparent there.
