Between 6 and 7.5 mm. in length, elongate oblong oval, somewhat 

 shiny, finely alutaceous, the elytra distinctly punctate and feebly 

 costate, head usually dark but often with a pale front; antennae, pro- 

 notum, legs and undersurface except breast pale yellow; elytra pale 

 with dark humeri and a dark line about scutellum extending down 

 suture and often connecting in a loose cu-cle with a dark line from 

 humerus which curves down and across elytron; at the apex another 

 semilunate dark marking often broken into two spots. 



Head with the interocular space a little less than half the width of 

 the head, frontal tubercles well marked and with a median depression 

 above, a narrow carina down lower front; occiput finely punctate, 

 usually dark to the antennal sockets with the lower face pale, but not 

 always so, the mouthparts dark. Antennae entirely pale. Prothorax 

 not twice as wide as long with slightly ciu-ved sides and a transverse 

 sulcus, finely alutaceous and finely punctate, entirely pale. Scutel- 

 lum pale or tan colored. Elytra with traces of costae along the sides, 

 feebly shining, finely alutaceous, punctation distinct and tending to be 

 geminate striate. In the Corozal specimen the piceous markings on 

 the elytra from the humerus do not connect along the side with a 

 transverse fascia, a piceous dark mark around the scutellum and down
