small lateral spots on each elytron, one before and one behind the 

 middle, a sutural pair of spots about the middle of the elytron, a 

 similar pair placed behind the last, and a transverse line near the 

 apex of each elytron. A spot at the middle of the pygidium, the 

 edges of the mesosternal epimera, and spots at the sides of the 

 sternal plates, the hind coxa? and the first, second and fourth 

 abdominal segments, are also white. 



The species is broad at the shoulders and tapers considerably to 

 the extremity. The head is strongly punctured, with a smooth 

 carina behind and the clypeus deeply notched in front. The 

 prothorax is densely punctured, strongly depressed behind and very 

 feebly lobed. The sides are divergent from front to back and 

 scarcely at all angulated. The eh/tra are shining, strongly sinnated 

 behind the shoulders, narrowed to the apices and rather strongly 

 carinated along the middle, the part external to the carinie being 

 coarsely rugose. There are large, not closely set, punctures at 

 the sides of the metasternum and all over the abdomen. 



S . The hind tibia has a thick fringe of long white hairs at its 

 inner edge, and the hind tarsus is a little longer than that of 

 the ?.

Black, \\ ith the clypeus, antennae, legs, and sometimes the pro- 

 thorax and elytra, partiallv or entirely red, and with yellow 

 markings as follows: — two longitudinal lines upon the head ; an 

 entire median line and an almost entire lateral one upon each side 

 of the pronotum ; the median line of the scutellum, and upon each 

 elytron a line adjoining the suture, beginning behind the scutellum 

 and continued round the apex, a curved discoidal line from the 

 shoulder to near the middle, a lateral line from behind the shoulder 

 to about the middle and a lateral spot behind the last. The 

 middle of the pygidium, parts of the sterna, the mesosternal 

 epimera, and broad lateral lines on the second, third and fifth 

 abdominal segments beneath are also yellow. 



It is broad at the shoulders and rapidly narrows towards the 

 extremity. The clypeus is rather broad in front and distinctly 

 excised at the middle. The prothora.v is broadest behind, the sides 

 scarcely angulated before the middle, the posterior angles being 

 almost acute. The disc is strongly depressed along the middle 

 and the posterior lobe strong. The whole upper surface is shining 

 but the depressed parts of the prothorax are rather strongly
