This pretty species differs from all its congeners in its livery 

 which consists of numerous tiny silvery-white silky macules en a 

 black velvety background ; these white macules are also found on 

 the underside as well as on the edge of the dorsal part of the 

 abdominal segments projecting beyond the coarctate part of the 

 elytra; the suture of the elytra is plainly carinate at a distance 

 from the base, and the dorsal costa is very shiny. 



Length 14 mm. ; width 4 mm. 



Hah. Transvaal (Lydenburg Distr.). 



This species will probably be included in a new genus inter- 

 mediate between Phlocteis and ^mosis.
