Black, rather sparingly covered with a short greyish pubescence ; ovate and 

 strongly convex. Head, protborax, apex of elrtra (not f|nite ^ the length), legs, 

 and abdomen pale yellow; tbe first abdominal segment blackish, the second 

 pitchy brown. Seutellmn pitch-black. Upper surface finely punctured. Elytra 

 with four short basal rows of punctures near the suture, two on each elytron ; the 

 rows are oblique, a little arched and rather strongly convergent in front ; the 

 sutural space between the two inner rows impuuctate. Body beneath somewhat 

 more strongly punctured than above, with the punctures very coarse in the middle 

 of the metasteruum, and arranged in oblique rows ; metasternum without a median 

 impression, but with a triangular smooth space in the middle. Coxal lines almost 

 semicircular, not reaching tbe posterior margin of tbe segment, with the exterior 

 part more declivous than the inner one and rather straight.

Long. If mm., elyti'. IJ, lat. IJ. 



Rufous, covered witli a short yellowish grey pubescence ; slightly convex, 

 ovate. Protborax strongly punctured all over, brownish, with the sides broadly 

 and the anterior margin very narrowly rufous ; the base sinuate at each side and 

 jii'oduced in front of the scutellum. Elytra rufous, with a long and narrow 

 triangular ill-defined marking (ui tbe suture of a brown colour ; coarsely and a 

 little more strongly punctured throughout than tlie i)rothoi'ax, with the punctures 

 confluent here and there, which gives the elytra a feebly rugose appearance ; there 

 are no rows of punctures. Metasternum bi-own, coarsely and thickly punctured, 

 and slightly rugose, especially at the sides ; the luiddle longitudinally impressed, 

 but not smooth. Abdomen strongly and closely punctured, with the first segment 

 bi'own and the second pale brown. Coxal lines complete, not reaching the bind 

 margin of the segment, strongly and rathei- uniformly arched.

It difl'ers from tbe very closely allied European Sr. suturalis (Tbunb.) chiefly in 

 the shorter shape, the paler colour, and in tbe punctuation of tbe middle of the 

 metasternum being very much closer and coarser.
