. Intervals slightly, on apex more strongly convex. Under side of hind metatarsi in both sexes with sparse bristles. 6-7 mm. - Central Africa (massaicus Gerstacker. 1884) 12 (11) Sculpture and other characters of head and pronotum very similar to those of preceding species, genae more rounded and less produced.
