54 DESCRIPTION OF INSECTS 



lateral punctures, of which one is obsolete and placed 

 near the base on the exterior side, one near the middle 

 on the anterior side, and one near the tip. 

 Feet black ; tarsi piceous ; postpedus with a few punctures 

 at base each side before the intermediate feet.
