appearing posteriorly : each with a somewhat roughly triangular 

 velvety brown patch at the side just behind the middle ; this 

 patch bounded in front and behind by an oblique dirty white 

 patch which appears to be almost impunctate. The whole fore- 

 part of the elytra extending triangularly backwards between 

 the lateral plagae is dark brown in colour, and is clothed with 

 a faint greyisli pubescence, with, here and there, a sprinkling 

 of fulvous. The posterior part of the elytra has a greyish pu- 

 bescence irregularly speckled with brown. The body underneath 

 and the legs have a greyish pubescence, with minute rounded 

 naked points wich appear reddish brown or dark brown accord- 

 ing to the colour of the derm. The mesosternal process is dis- 

 tinctly, though not strongly, tubercled in the middle. 



This species is somewhat closely allied to U. angusta, Pascoe, 

 but in the latter the velvety-brown lateral patch of the elytra 

 is slightly darker in colour, is obliquely placed , and has a 

 distinctly, though sparsely, punctured patch clothed with pale 

 gre} ish or cinereous pubescence, both in front of and behind it. 

 The anterior part of the elytra is as thickly covered with pube- 

 scence as the rest of the surface, so that the derm of that part 

 is almost completely concealed. The mesosternum is very faintly 

 or not at all, tubercled.
