Head and prothorax minutely granulose, their colour varying 

 from ferruginous red to black. The prothorax with a transverse 

 sub-nude space on the middle of the disk. Scutellum and the 

 latero-basal margins of the prothorax whitish. Elytra dull vel- 

 vety black with ashy and grey markings, of which the first 

 consists of a band on each which commences at the suture just 

 behind the scutellum, passes obliquely backwards for some dis- 

 tance without strongly diverging from its fellow, and is then 

 directed almost straight outwards so as nearly to reach the 

 external margin, the second is a transverse or slightly arcuate 

 band crossing the elytra at about the middle, and gradually 

 becoming wider towards the suture so as to have a somewhat 

 shortly triangular form; the third is a transverse band, of a 

 somewhat darker grey colour, which occupies a little more than 

 the apical fifth. The first two segments of the abdomen, and 

 two band^ on each side of the breast (one longitudinal and one 

 oblique) are of an ashy-white colour ; the hinder segments of 

 the abdomen have a darker grey pubescence. 



The head in this species is more flattened between the an- 

 tennae and more regularly rounded from the vertex to the front 

 than in other species of the genus. In tiiis respect it approaches 

 the African genus CalanthemiSj Thoms. 



For the four following species I use the generic term Calo- 

 clijlus (') in preference to ClytaiUhus, believing that the latter 

 name would be better restricted to certain Central American 

 species which are distinguished by having a longitudinal groove 

 or depression on each side of the elytral suture limited on the 

 outside by a more or less distinct carina. The genus Clylanthus, 

 thus restricted, is more allied to Ochresthes, than to the Euro- 

 pean and Asiatic species hitherto included in the former genus.
