Having read several descriptions of its habitat, I think it is strange to have this beetle in the Coachella Valley of Southern California. I have a picture of it, but being brand new to this site, I do not see a way to display it here. |

They are slender and flattened. Elytra are reddish brown with a few distinct ridges. The pronotum and head are much darker. The margins of the thorax have a few large spines and usually several smaller ones. Antennae are over half of the body length and tend to lay back along the length of the body. The eyes partially surround the base of the antennae. The mandibles are fairly large. |
