Antennæ rather long, obscure red, the terminal joint slightly longer than the tenth. Rostrum broad, very short, not longer than the head; eyes not very large, the space between them, also the vertex, finely punctate. Thorax longer than broad, a little rounded at the sides, sparingly punctate. Scutellum small, with white pubescence. Elytra with very obliterated series of punctures; the punctures are quite fine, even at the base, and at the apex can scarcely be detected. The white pubescence on the legs is very conspicuous.
 
Two examples: in one the blue colour of the head is not very distinct. I suspect the specimen with long antennæ may be a male of another species, but it may be only a variety; it is in beautiful condition, and we figure it.
