II. TRiFAsciATA. — Head black : dypeus at tip reflected: tho- 

 rax densely covered with reddish-yelhiw scales: feet brownish- 

 red : scutel blackish : elytra light brownish-red, with sparse yel- 

 lowish scales, which, however, are more dense in some parts, .so 

 as to form three bands, which arc tolerably distinct ; of these, 

 one is at the base, the other on the middle, and the third near 

 the tip ; they are somewhat undulated : anal segment and beneath 

 densely covered with pale cinereous scales, which have, in some 

 parts, a cupreous reflection. The opposite sex is black on those 

 parts, which in the other are brownish-red, and the bands of the 

 elytra are hardly discernible : in both sexes the humerus is pro- 

 minent, and at the dccurvaturo of the elytra near the tip, they 

 are elevated almost into an angle. 



Length nearly one-third of an inch. 



The great diff'erence in color between the two sexes of this 

 species, may readily deceive naturalists into the belief that they 

 are two distinct species. [201 ]
