Recognized by the medium to large size, linear pattern of coloration with exocorium and clavus mostly opaque, pale, olive-colored, contrasting with dark endocorium, pronotum varying from entirely black to totally pale, antennae entirely black, dorsal vestiture of recumbent, black, bristlelike setae, and surface of dorsum weakly polished. Linear pattern of coloration similar to
lineatus and
shoshonea; easily distinguished from those species by the black, bristlelike setae on the dorsum and by the distinctive structure of the male genitalia, the vesica lacking a flange and with very long, evenly attenuated apical spines.
