 very slight constriction below the shoulders. Head with the vertex shining, fore- 

 head with a slight impression ; the anterior margin and the clypeus covered with 

 transverse rugula*, those on the forehead stronger ; the clypeus in front narrowed, 

 and with a small triangular incision. Tlie thorax is two-fifths broader than long, 

 broadest behind, black, with the sides broadly orange-yellow, in the middle of 

 which margin is a small black spot on each side, the discoidal black portion ia 

 in the middle shining and scarcely visibly punctured, but bordered on each side 

 by a longitudinal band of rugula; (or strong confluent punctures) reaching nearly to 

 the posterior margin, and connected with the hind mai-gin by some strong punctures; 

 the orange portion is also strongly punctured anteriorly, and on the extreme margins; 

 the anterior margin is bisinuate, the anterior angles very slightly prominent ; the 

 sides evenly rounded, with the margins incrassate, especially behind ; the posterior 

 margin broadly lobed in the middle. Scutellum about half as long as broad, shining, 

 almost impunctate. Elytra of the same width at the base as the base of the thorax, 

 but a trifle broader immediately below the shoulders, very slightly broader posteriorly, 

 with tlie apices conjointly broadly roundid, strongly punctured in longitudinal lines, 

 the apex, however, nearly impunctate ; entirely orange-yellow with the exception of a 

 small round spot below the shoulder, and a large ovate transverse spot a little below 

 the middle, and the suture at the extreme apex, which are black. Pygidium pale 

 yellow, with two minute black dots, shining and impunctate ; the under-side yellow, 

 the various parts and segments narrowly bordered with black. Legs yellow, with 

 the upper side of the anterior femora, a spot on the intermediate and posterior
