lowish spots ; scutelluin black, polished. Elytra with 8 black marks, 

 arranged in series, thus — 2, 3, 1, 2. — the first series consists of a spot 

 on the humerus and a hooked-shaped mark within and a little lower 

 down, the second series consists of three unequal longitudinal lines, 

 each placed lower than the other towards the suture, then comes a 

 single, slightly oblique, longitudinal line, interrupted, so as to form a 

 semicolon, on the left elytron, and near the apex there are two dots, 

 the outer one higher up ; in some specimens, these two spots, most 

 probably, become confluent and form a line ; all these spots are sur- 

 rounded by a line of distinct punctures ; there are also two regular 

 rows of punctures near the suture and two others near the lateral mar- 

 gin, otherwise the punctures are scattered and feeble ; sutural and late- 

 ral margins narrowly pale rufous. Legs and undersurface of the body 

 rufous, the former paler. Length 8 lines. 



This species belongs to Group A of Rogers' Synopsis of this genus 

 in Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. Philad., VIII, p. 32.
