Orginal description. "Ovatus, niger, nitidus;
fronte impressa, stria integra; pronoti stria laterali interna integra,
externa abbreviata; elytria striis 1. - 3. dorsalibus integris, 4. et 5.
et suturali brevivus; propygidio punctato, subfoveolato; pygidio apice subtiliter
punctato; mesosterno marginato, basi non sinuato. L. 2.75 - 3 lin.
Much smaller than sibiricus, Mars., to which section it belongs; it may
be recognized by the finer punctation of the pygidium (in some specimens
almost smooth at the apex), and by the mesosternum having no notch to admit
the prosternum.
Hab. Hiogo, where it is common."
