Hah. Tenimber and Teruate. 



There are great diSererices to be seen in regard to size and markings in the 

 specimens before me, the smallest only measuring one line and possessing the elytral 

 markings which aie absent in the other si)eciniens. In some the pubescence is also 

 much more distinct on the thorax and elytra than in others, one specimen having a 

 black pvgidium. The last abdominal segment of the male is incised at each >ide : 

 the median lobe is flat and subquadrate.
