Blood-red, with the head darker, the pronotum suffused with a slight metallic lustre, and the legs, the lower surface and the extremity of the pygidium clothed with rather long tawny hair. It is a short, compact, highly convex and shining insect. The head is small and densely rugose, the clypeus broadly rounded and the suture well marked. The prouotum is minutely and rather evenly puuctured, with the sides rounded, the base com- pletely margined and broadly rounded, and all the angles obtuse. The scutellum is broader than it is long, obtuse at the apex, and bears a few punctures. The elytra are rather strongly punctate- striate, with the alternate intervals broad and irregularly punc- tured. The pygidium is closely, rather finely and rugosely punctured, a little less closely at the apex, whei'e it bears a few tawny hairs. The sternum is closely, and the abdomen thinly, hairy. The longer claw o£ the front and middle feet is cleft only at the tip. (S . The last joint of the front tarsus is deeply notched near the base, and the inner claw is strongly bent near the base, afterwards straight, parallel-sided and slightly cleft at the tip.
