carinae. Antenna palo vnfoiis, sesraent (is Ions as 3, not qnitr twice the length 

 of 8. 



Prothorax broader than long, rather strongly rounded from the dorsal to the 

 apex of the lateral carina, above ochraceons, impnnctate, with a feebly marked 

 transverse dei)ression and two broad brown vittae, which are a little wider than the 

 ochraceons median vitta and bear each a small ochraceons dot midway between 

 apical margin and dorsal carina, there being a small triangnlar ochraceons spot 

 at the carina close to the median vitta, with which it is united ; from the apex 

 of the lateral carina forward a brown doable stripe, one lateral and the other 

 snbventral. Carina straight above, lateral angle distinct, obtnse. Elytra elongate, 

 strongly flattened above, with the basal margin mnch excurved and distinctly 

 elevate; snbbasal callosity feeble; the basal two-thirds grey, apical third ochraceons, 

 lateral grey markings more or less tinged with ochraceons, the following markings 

 remaining blackish brown : a narrow sutnral strijie bearing a grey dot close to the 

 likewise grey scntellnm, a short basal line each in interspaces 3 and 5, a broad streak 

 commencing at the shoulder angle, extending at the margin to beyond middle, 

 expanding anteriorly between margin and stripe 5 and in centre between margin and 

 interspace 4, a line projecting forward in this interspace, the brown stripe bears a 

 yellowish grey line on stripe 7, a short grey posthumeral dash each in stripes s and 

 9 and a grey spot at middle of margin ; posteriorly the brown streak extends more 

 dorsad, approaching the suture at the commencement of the apical declivity in the 

 shape of a rounded lobe, before which the streak is excised, and ending at some 

 distance from the apex with a central, longitudinal, truncate ]>rojection; a narrow, 

 brown, elongate, marginal spot before apex. Pygidium longer than broad, rounded 

 at apex, ochraceons, with a blackish brown median vitta. 



Underside grey, impunctate, with an elongate, blackish brown, lateral spot on 

 the metasternum. First abdominal segment with a small tubercle. Femora 

 rnfescent at base and apex, pubescent-grey ; tibiae and tarsi rufous, pubescent- 

 ochraceous, the apex of the tibiae brown. 



Length (exclusive of head) 7 mm.

c?. Black. Upperside with a blackish brown pubescence and the following 

 markings : an uninterrupted, posteriorly widening median vitta on the pronotnm, 

 continued by an equally well-defined, basal, y-shaped sutural spot on the elytra, 

 yellowish grey ; two small dots on each side of the pronotnm, jilaced one behind 

 the other and nearer to the lateral carina than to the median vitta, greyish ; on 

 the elytra a number of grey dots and dashes situated in the stripes, several laterally 

 to the tip of the y-mark, others placed in ring-shape on the posterior half of each 

 elytrnm. 



Rostrnm more than half as long again as it is broad at the base, centrally 

 depressed beyond middle, with five carina, of which the three dorsal ones are 

 obsolete in apical half, while the lateral one almost joins the edge of the antennal 

 cavity, which edge is cariniform and extends as a well-defined carina to the apex 

 of the rostrnm. Frons a little less than half the width of an interspace between 

 the dorsal carinao of the rostrum, with a narrow longitudinal groove. Eyes 

 narrowly edged with grey. Antenna long, rnfescent at base of segments 1 and 2, 

 a little shorter than 3 and a little longer than 10, one-fourth longer than 8.
