Brown, with the bead, scape of antennae, and under surface blackish, with the 

 remainder of the antennae and the legs pale tawny; clothed with a white ])ubesceuce. 

 Head sparsely jjubescent on ihe front and cheeks, with a small spot behind each eye 

 and the whole of the vertex white, except a very small brown spot on the vertex 

 close to the prothorax. Antennae 1^ the length of the body, with the scape strongly 

 granular. Prothorax longer than broad, white, with five brown bands, one median 

 and abbreviated in front, one situated in the middle of each side, and one immediately 

 above the coxal cavities, the latter less marked than the others. .Elytra pointed at 

 the apex, coarsely jmuctuated, with the punctures very dense at the sides ; white, 

 rather narrowly bordered with brown at the base, sides, and apex ; each elytron 

 with three markings of the brown colour of the derm: one small spot situated on the 

 disc in front of the middle, conuecteil with the brown margin by a very tine brown 

 line, a transverse and rather narrow Inind behind the middle, somewhat oblique, not 

 exteniling to the suture, and united with the margin, and finally an anteapical 

 transverse narrow streak, laterally united with the margin, curved on the disc, and 

 connected with the snture, the apical part of which (from this baud to the tip) is 

 also brown. Under surface white on the sides of the meso- and metasternum, the 

 latter with a lirown longitudinal mark; sides of the abdominal segments with a 

 blackish spot surrounded with a jiubescent white space.

 front of the head and prothorax black, somewhat crowded on the elytra, and very
