Physical description

provided by INOTAXA archive
Rostrum slender, in the male quite as long as the thorax, in the female a good deal longer. Antennæ very long, the club very long and slender, the terminal joint but little shorter than the tenth. Head finely punctate. Thorax rather finely punctate. Elytra with regular series of punctures, obliterated at the apex, the interstices very broad, their remote serial punctuation very obsolete; there is a black basal fascia interrupted at the suture, and a second fascia just in front of the middle, interrupted at the suture and each half more or less distinctly divided into two spots; the erect setosity is not very long. The legs are yellow with black tibiæ, and the basal joint of the tarsus more or less deeply black.
 
We have received three examples of this remarkable species; we figure the male from Cerro Zunil, which has the rostrum shorter, the eyes larger, and the apex of the middle tibia a little more prolonged inwardly.
