This species closely resembles G. quinquelineata (Cbevr.), l'«t is usually 

 smaller, with the sides of the prothorax bearing two black Hues iusteuil of oue, 

 with the rufous space between the two black rejfions of the elytra much smaller, 

 the outer spine of the a])ex much longer, anil the puuctuation of the elytra much 

 finer. Moreover, the prothorax has only a trace of a grey mediau line ; the 

 anterior and posterior margins of the median black mark of the elytra are more 

 or less parallel, standing s(miewhat nbliiiuely to the suture, and the ajmial spot is 

 more or less rounded and situated close to tlie apical margin of the elytra.

Long. 13 mm., elytr. 9, lat. 4. 



Antennae reaching beyond the tij) of the elytra in the male, and not i[nite so 

 long as the body in the female. Head with a large white spot on the cheeks, and

 cavities. >Scutellum black. Elytra rufous, with a distinct tint of brick red, clothed 

 with a fine whitish grey pubescence, which is denser at the suture, especially 

 between the two parts of the antemediau black area, and at the hind margin of the

Differs from G. qtdnquelineata (t'hevr.) in tlie lilack colour of the legs, the 

 shape of the median black region of the elytra, and in the form of the apical greyish 

 spot ; the pubescence of the elytra is also dilferent, and the punctuation of the l)ase 

 of the elytra is much more regular.
