In spite of very great differences in colour and markings and a 

 considerable difference in shape (this species being more narrowed 

 hindward), I think it possible that tliis may be a variety of the 

 preceding, from which it scarcely differs in respect of the punc- 

 turation of its several parts.

 The elytra in this species are evidently less coarsely punctured 

 than those of the preceding two, and the head is considerably more 

 finely punctured.
