 and thorax reddish-yellow, the latter fuscous on base 

 and apex. Elytra blackish, with three irregular red- 

 dish-brown spots; one marginal, extending from the 

 huinerus back one-third the length of elytron, then 

 across nearly to suture, where it expands ; one be- 

 hind the middle and one near or at apex; these very

 is somewhat paler and the reddish-brown marks of the elytra are smaller 

 and more indistinct than in cnnsimilits. Elytra more sparsely and coarsely 

 punctate than there. Length 4^1.5 mm.
