vertex with a white mark between the upper parts of the eyes, divided iuto two 

 short lobes beliind. Scntelhim of the colour of the elytra. The latter with three 

 white and rouuded spots on the suture, common to both elytra, the first the 

 smallest, the second the largest, and the third somewhat interrupted at the 

 suture ; besides these markings there are five white spots on each elytron : one 

 beside the scntellnm, circular, touching the basal margin, and four along the side, 

 the second of which, placed in front of tlie middle, is the largest and of a circuhir 

 shape. Punctuation of the elytra strong and rather thick, the punctures 

 becoming sparser and smaller towards the apex. Alxlomen somewhat darker 

 than the remainder of the body ; the posterior ])arts of the segments laterally 

 covered with a white pubescence as the sides of the sterna.

The basal spot of each elytron occupies the whole of the extreme basal 

 margin from the scutellum to the shoulder, and is more rouuded at the outside 

 and behind than towards the suture.

Allied in colour and pattern to Gr. concinna (Ghevr.), from which it may be 

 easily distinguished by the prothorax having only three longitudinal brown bands.

Ferruginous, with head and j)r(ithorax of a brownish colour, and with the tip 

 of the antennal joints, especially of the last ones, blackish. The front of the head, 

 except a longitudinal median streak, the cheeks, a band behind each eye, and a

 covered with a white jnibesceuce. Tlie median band of the prothorax broad, narrowed 

 in front and behind ; the lateral brown streaks anteriorly somewhat bent upwards. 

 Scutellum entirely ferruginous. Elytra with three sutnral rounded markings : one 

 rather small spot i)laced behind the base, a second behind the middle, broader than 

 long, and a third situated in front of the apex, feebly interrupted at the suture ; 

 each elytron bearing, moreover, five white spots : one at the base near the scutellum, 

 of an almost semicircular shape, and four along the sides, the first of them small, 

 standing liehiud the shoulder, the second placed almost in the middle, large and
