Elytra brownish black, slightly tomentose,marked with narrow bands of whitish pubescence : the first bandcrosses at the base and, just before reaching the shoulder, turnsstraight bade and extends a short distance along the disc ;thesecond band begins at the suture at a short distance behind thescutellum, diverges slightly from the suture as it passes backwards,and at about oue-third from the base crosses the disc transversely,it is sometimes angulately dilated at its outer end, a httle in frontof which there is a small subraarginal white spot ; the third bandcrosses transversely a little in front of the apical third, at thesuture it is produced in front as a very narrow band, and is sometimesalso produced posteriorly; the apex is rather broadlycovered with a band of ashy-grey pubescence, from which anarrow sutural band of whitish pubescence extends in front.Body beneath covered with ashy-grey pubescence, the episterna ofthe "meso- and metathorax and the sides of the abdomen moredensely covered with whitish pubescence.
