Description
Form strongly elongate, parallel, moderately convex. Color dark rufous; elytra blackish piceous. Head, thorax, and elytra smooth, strongly shining, not at all alutaceous. Head and thorax with fine, rather sparse and indistinct punctures; the occipital transverse row of coarse punctures not so strongly developed; elytra punctured as given in the synopsis. Head slightly more than one-half the width of the thorax, less than twice as wide as long. Preocular lobes very prominent, strongly rounded, slightly oblique: clypeal suture indistinguishable. Antennae very long, surpassing considerably the anterior coxae. Thorax three-fourths wider than long; apex scarcely at all emarginate ; sides feebly arcuate : basal angles rounded ; base not margined : a tine feebly impressed subentire median line. Base transversely impressed laterally : sides scarcely explanate. Elytra two and one-half times the length of thorax, three-fourths longer than wide ; sides parallel and straight to near apex; apices broadly, almost squarely truncate; suture not at all elevated. Length, 6.5 mm. ; width, 2.5 mm. Male.—Densely pubescent spots of the fourth and fifth ventral segments about one-seventh the width of the segment.
