Description

Form slightly elongate, moderately convex. Color dark piceo- castaneous. Integuments above finely alutaceous, rather feebly shining. Head and thorax very finely and rather sparsely punctured; elytra as given in the key. Head three-fifths the width of thorax, twice as wide as long.

Base finely margined medially; sides scarcely explanate. A fine and much-abbreviated median line, feebly and broadly impressed. Elytra somewhat more than twice the length of thorax, slightly more than one-half longer than wide: sides distinctlv convergent behind the middle; suture broadly and feebly elevated behind the middle ; apices truncate and angles rounded as usual. Length, 9 mm. ; width, 4 mm.
