Ult/tra : nerves on both sides broadly niargined with fuscous.

 and adjoining each eye, but not touching either ; these are joined to two others 

 more interior, down the centre of which is a short fine yellow streak ; anterior

 between them in the centre a distinct yellow _L"8haped character. Face on each 

 Bide with several transverse black streaks enclosed in an oval black border. 

 Pronofum with four longitudinal black lines, the two interior ones placed close 

 together, and leaving a very fine yellow central line and two small spots next 

 the anterior margin, the two exterior irregularly interrupted by transverse yellow 

 lines. Scutellum yellow, base black, or black with the basal angles j'cllow. 

 Elytra with a fuscous shade produced by the broad fuscous margin to the nerves. 

 Coriuni : anterior ^uargin with a broad fuscous line throughout its entire length ; 

 apical areas fuscous, or the area next the anterior margin with a pale patch in

? testaceous, with the characters on the crown faintly indicated, and those on the

Minute and closely related to the foregoing species, but its black- 

 ness and the ocellated spots in the areas of the elytra are suillcieut to 

 distinguish them.

 clavus, and transverse nerves of the cerium, white. 



Crown viewed from above triangidar, from in front somewhat rhomboidal, with two

 and two square spots of the same colour in a line with the anterior margin of

 Pronofum with a few black spots next the anterior margin, and frequently two 

 or more longitudinal fuscous lines. Scutellum with a triangular black spot at 

 each basal angle, and generally between these two small ones of the same colour.
