Body deep black, polished; head with rather distant, profound punctures ; region of the antennse a little elevated and dull rufous; antennse pale, dusky at base and tip; thorax punctured; punctures rather large and profound, but not very dense ; no impressed line ; posterior angles with a minute abrupt excurvature, acute; elytra punctured like the thorax, with a longitudinal white vitta on the middle of each, commencing at the middle of the base and extending rectilinearly, with a slight degree of attenuation near to the tip, and occupying about the sixth part of the surface; feet pale, posterior thighs dusky towards the tip.
Length three-twentieths of an inch.

I have not met with it in the Atlantic states.
