Joint 1 of the funiculus elongate, about one-half longer than 2, 3—7 gradually decreasing in length. Prothorax rather convex, the obliquely converging sides in a line with those of the head. Elytra elongate, widening to beyond the middle, finely punctate-striate, the interstices faintly, irregularly, uni- or biseriate-punctate.
 
Length 5½, breadth 2 millim.

Hab.MEXICO (ex coll. Jekel).

One specimen, kindly presented to us by Signor A. Solari. It must have been captured many years ago, but there is no reason to doubt the Mexican habitat, similarly labelled examples of other species having been found in various collections from Mexico.
