Ovate, black, the antennae obscure ferruginous; thickly clothed with fulvous or pale brownish scales, the prothorax with two faint, transverse, narrow, white bands, the anterior one extending downwards to the front coxae, the elytra with the following pure white markings - a short stripe on the second interstice at the base, a short oblique fascia on the outer part of the disc below this, a long curved stripe extending from the humeri along the lower margin for some distance and then running upwards to about the middle of the disc, and a curved oblique stripe near the apex, this latter extending narrowly forwards along the outer part of the third interstice. Head densely punctate, with a smooth sulcus running along the inner edge of each of the eyes in front, the eyes themselves rather prominent, coarsely facetted, and somewhat narrowly separated; rostrum stout, curved, about as long as the head and prothorax, rugulosely punctate and subcarinate at the base, the apical half thickly, rather coarsely punctate, a little smoother in the female, the antennae inserted at the middle, joint 2 of the funiculus slightly shorter than 1, the club ovate, acuminate. Prothorax strongly transverse, rapidly narrowing from the base, which is deeply bisinuate, slightly constricted in front; densely punctate. Elytra wider than the prothorax, narrowing from near the base, the humeri rounded; seriate-punctate, the interstices densely rugulose, 3, 5, 7, and 9 narrowly, and 6 and 8 more feebly, costate, the suture also raised throughout. Beneath very densely, moderately coarsely punctate. Fifth ventral segment slightly depressed in the middle at the apex in the male. Legs rather short and stout, the femora unarmed. Length 7 1/4 - 10 1/4 mm, breadth 3 4/5 - 5 1/3 mm. (male, female.)
Sent us in numbers by Höge. The white markings of the elytra are constant: the long curved stripe can only be seen when the insect is viewed in profile.
