Diagnosis. This is an easily recognized, large species. The sculpture of the elytra consists of five discal costae with the intervals between them flat and clothed with short, black setae, which are usually coated with clay-like material, causing the shiny costae to stand out in bold relief. Both males and females are caudate, the cauda longer in the male. Length: 30–32 mm.
Distribution. This species is rare in collections. It is known from the Mexican states of Nuevo León, San Luis Potosí, and Tamaulipas. The only Texas record is one specimen collected at Comstock in Val Verde County.
