Fig. 



The head is covered chiefly with pale scales, but has two black spots ; 



■the thorax is rather broader than long, 

 rather suddenly contracted in width from 

 the middle to the fore part, and with the 

 lateral margins of the hinder half nearly 

 parallel, being very slightly rounded; the 

 upper surface is densely beset with short, 

 stiff, erect bristles, which are most of them 

 black, but some few are white, and are aggre- 

 gated in parts so as to form small spots and 

 a white mesial line ; the hinder margin is 

 ( l(jthed with orange yellow scales, and these 

 form a small spot near the scutellum. The 

 elytra are more than three times the length 

 of the thorax, and about half as wide again, 

 chJ\'^SXM,%fnT'Ss^^^^ humeral angle is rounded,the sides nearly 

 expanded. Eight times nat- parallel, except toward the apex, where they 



are rather suddenly contracted, and obtusely 

 rounded ; they are covered with scales, some of wliich are dirty white, 

 others brown, and others black, producing a variegated appearance ; in 

 each of the tolerably large punctures of the stria? is a white scale; on 



the fourth interstice from the 

 suture is a small white spot which 

 is rather more conspicuous than 

 othei-s ; it is situated above the 

 middle of the elytron, and at a 

 short distance from the apex of 

 the elytra is a conspicuous trans- 

 verse dirty white patch, in which 

 is a waved black line. Besides 

 the scales there are scattered dark 

 and pale hairs on the elytra. On 

 the under parts of the insect are 

 scattered pale scales. The limbs 

 . , ,, „ ^. . , , are clothed with setiform scales.
