172 ENTOMOLOGICAL NOTES, 



Head yellow, elongate, porrected ; mandibles acute, black at the 

 tip; antennae 11-jointed, the basal joint is very long, and the 

 second very short, these two are entirely brown ; the third and 

 fourth are much longer than the second, but shorter than the first, 

 these are entirely yellow ; the fifth and remaining joints are longer, 

 and of nearly uniform length ; the fifth has the basal half yellow, 

 the apical half brown ; the sixth is entirely yellow, the seventh 

 brown, the eighth yellow, ninth brown, the tenth yellow, and the 

 eleventh and last pale brown. The eyes are black, and of a very 

 remarkable figure ; they are divided into three distinct lobes or 

 branches ; the upper lobe stretches behind the antennae, towards 

 the top of the head ; the middle lobe comes forwards below the 

 antennae, towards the clypeus ; and the lower lobe, which is all 

 but divided from the other two, extends downwards and forwards 

 nearly to the labium. The prothorax is elongate, and entirely 

 yellow ; near its anterior margin an indentation completely en- 

 circles it ; rather behind the middle is a single spine on each 

 side, and dorsally, it has six small tubercles, of which four are 

 disposed in pairs anteriorly, and the other two stand one on each 

 side of the disk, about two-thirds of the distance from the anterior 

 towards the posterior margin ; the other parts of the insects are 

 entirely of a bright yellow, with the exception of a large saddle- 

 like brown mark on the anterior part of the elytra, and occupying 

 nearly half of them ; the margins of this mark are very dark- 

 coloured and distinct ; the elytra are linear with the external apex 

 rounded, the internal spined.

Brown ; head rather darker, and sparingly covered with grey hairs ; 

 prothorax also darker, wrinkled transversely on its upper surface, 

 and having some small glabrous tubercles in a cluster near the 

 centre of its disk ; towards each side is a longitudinal patch 

 covered with a grey pilosity, and which reaches the posterior but 

 not the anterior margin of the prothorax ; below this patch, on
