Black, sides of prothorax dbscurely diluted with red ; elytra 

 reddish, with muuerous irregular blaickish spots ; antennae red- 

 dish, but tirst and last joints infuscate ; le^gs reddish in parts; 

 tips of abdominal segments reddish. Rather densely clothed 

 with greyish pubescence, becoming blackish on the dark parts 

 of the elytra, and most of the under surface. 



Cluh apparently composed of tive joints. Protliura c about 

 twice as wide as long; with small and partially concealed punc- 

 tures. Elytra parallel sided to near apex, with slightly larger 

 punctures than on prothorax. Length, '2\ — 3^ mm. 



There are two specimens before me, both apparently females. 

 The dark spots on the elytra may be regarded as forming four 

 very irregular fasciae. To the naked eye, a large, dark, sub- 

 basal spot on each elytron, appears to be margined behind by 

 a whitish semicircle of pubescence. The club appears to be 

 composed of five joints, but it is hard to determine whether 

 the basal one of these should really be considered as belonging 

 to the club. Tlie prosternal sulci are apparently subtriangulaa- 

 in shape and feeble. 



An oblong-elliptic sjiecies. the general outline of which is 

 much like that of rigua, but (apart from colour) the punctures 

 of both prothorax and elytra are much smaller and sparser tluwi 

 in that species. In Mr. Blackburn's' table of the genus it would 

 be placed in ]i\i. but the colour of its elytra w\\\ readily dis- 

 tinguish it from all the species placed there.
