Head rather evenly shallowly convex, moderately, densely punctate, with a fine median carina on vertex that ends in a distinct chevron at top of frons, and with a pair of round flattened callosities at middle; setae moderately long, suberect; front margin of clypeus broadly deeply arcuately emarginate; antennae black with brassy reflections, outer portions of segments 411 brown. Pronotum shallowly evenly convex, with a vague longitudinal median depression; surface with punctures similar to head, sparser at middle, becoming confused laterally and with rugae developing; front margin broadly arcuately lobed at middle; hind margin evenly bisinuate, truncate in front of scutellum; sides slightly swollen, margins entire, shallowly arcuate, constricted before subquadrate basal angles, front angles narrowly triangular; setae short, sparse, indistinct on disk. Elytra distinctly wider than pronotum, constricted basally, widest back of middle, subparallel to about apical 1/4, then gradually converging to narrowly rounded apices that do not quite cover abdomen; basal margins rather evenly arcuate, lateral margins not serrate; basal depressions distinct, humeral depressions distinct but shallower; each elytron with four weak and variably developed longitudinal costae, three discal and one lateral (the third obsolete on left side) and with a vague brassy marking interrupting the third costa at about apical 1/4; surface rather evenly densely punctate, punctures smaller than on pronotum, finer and sparser apically, setae short and sparse. Underside: prosternum broadly distinctly lobed in front, coarsely densely punctate, with setae long and dense. Abdomen with lateral callosities distinct on sternites 34, vaguely developed on sternites 1 and 5, moderately and finely punctate, setae about length of those on head, mostly recumbent; last visible sternite with lateral margins entire, without submarginal ridges, apex with a broad shallow emargination that is limited ventrally by a fine truncate margin; eighth tergite vaguely bluish black, without trace of median carina, distinctly microreticulate, moderately punctured, apex broadly shallowly emarginate. Anterior femur with a large broadly triangular tooth that is not denticulate on outer margin.

. Color of dorsum varies from distinctly copper to dark brown with vague copper reflections (some color differences could be an artifact of actual or specimen age). The color of the pronotum varies to being, on occasion, almost entirely blackish, thus contrasting markedly with the elytra; the ventral surface may lack lateral copper reflections. The lateral abdominal callosities are variably developed—sometimes smooth, sometimes punctured—but are always distinct on sternites 2 4, rarely evident on sternite 5. The apical margin of the latter in females varies to all degrees between the examples in Figs. (1 3). The front of the head in males may have indistinct metallic reflections and/or lack aeneous luster, varying to almost entirely black; conversely, coppery reflections may be distinct and extensive on females. Development of the vertical carina, chevron and median callosities on frons is variable; however, those structures are always distinct. Sometimes the callosities are elongated and coalesced, and the carina may extend beyond the chevron, sometimes ending between the callosities. The median depression on the pronotum may be shortened and indistinct. On the elytra, development of the costae is highly variable, to the degree that on a given specimen one or more may be entirely or partially absent. A few specimens have a distinct second, smaller brassy marking located nearby and mesoapically to the mark described for the

Apparently they bear no adhesive and are held in place by plant hairs and/or tight quarters. Many first instar larvae were found associated with their eggs, though some had bored several millimeters into flower stalks or leaf crowns.

However, some remains were found even in the upper portion of root, perhaps indicating that successful emergence depends upon more ready access to the outside world. Clearly, at least two size classes of larvae were found on each date. Unfortunately, measurement of a sclerotized structure (the epistoma) was made for only the 2004 larvae (n=13).
