JJatlior densely covered Avith a leaden-grey })ul)escenfe; the 

 j)rotliorax marked above with two round l)lack s})ots; each elytron 

 with two short vittae near the base , one of them at the sid{> , 

 and llu' other })laced obli(juely on the disc, an obli(|ue hand 

 crossing from a little in front of the middle at the sulure to a 

 little behind the middle at the side, and a transverse band, sligh- 

 tly o1)li(|U<\ a short distance l)ehin(l the middle. In tli(^ male, the 

 })rotliorax is feebly and not distinctly punctate, and llie l)ody un- 

 derneath, except on the last two segments, is somewhat closely 

 covered with ashy-white puljescence. The prothorax of the female 

 exhil)its a shallow reticulate puncturation on those ])arts where 

 the pubescence is less dense; and the l)ody underneath is co\-e- 

 red with a pubescence as dark as that on the upperside. In both 

 sexes the first joint of the hind tarsus is very long, nearly three 

 times as long as the 2"'^ and 3'^ together. 



It is possible that the specimens here regarded as sexes t)f 

 the same , may belong to t^o distinct species , since the grouj) 

 to which the}' are -to be referred contains a number of v(>ry 

 closely allied and very similarly marked forms.
