Head and beak punctured, the latter curved, not distinctly striate at the base; occiput finely carinate. Prothorax wider than long, narrowed in front, somewhat rounded on the sides, slightly constricted near the tip; apical margin slightly elevated, postocular lobes entirely wanting; disc coarsely confluently punctured, channeled, lateral tubercles distinct, acute. Elytra deeply sulcate; interspaces not wider than the striae, rough and muricate; an elongate basal spot on the suture, composed of small white scales, sometimes removed by abrasion. Funicle slender, first joint nearly as long as the second, and stouter; third nearly as long as the second; 4-7 gradually shorter, but scarcely thicker; club moderate, oval pointed. Thighs acutely toothed, claws cleft.
