The body is moderately elongate, not very convex, and clothed vi'ith short pale hairs at the sides beneath. The head, pronotum and scutellum are not perceptibly punctured ; the clypeus broad and transversely rectangular, \\ith the margin strongly reflexed,^ neai'ly straight in front, the angles rounded, the suture deep and pitted on each side. The pronotum has the front angles a little produced, the hiud tingles obtuse, and the posterior lobe broad and truncate. The elytra are closely punctured and show well- marked paired longitudinal lines, the outer margius being rather broadly flattened from the shoulders to considerably beyond the middle. The pygidiuni is finely rugose at the base and extreme apex, and deeply impressed on each side. The mesosteruum is smooth in the middle, and finely and densely punctured at the sides;. the abdomen is iiTegularly punctured at the sides.

The front tibia and tarsus are much shorter and thicker than those of the female, the inner front claw strongly dilated, and the longer spur of the hiud tibia elongated, strongly curved and knobbed at the end.
