(5 . Black, with the antennae and legs reddish, the femora 

 partly black ; the elytra more or less red, and the whole surface 

 decorated with yellow markings, consisting of two longitudinal 

 lines on the head, four longitudinal lines on the prothorax, the 

 base and apex of the scutellum, the adjoining margins of the 

 elytra, a common spot at the middle of the suture and a small 

 elongate one on each side immediately before the last, the apical 

 margin of each elytron and a short prolongation along the 

 suture, and two short transverse lines at the outer margin of 

 each. The middle of the pygidium and the outer part of the 

 margins of the ventral segments are similarly decorated, the 

 stripes of the latter being confluent internally. 



The upper side is strongly depressed along the middle line. 

 The eyes are prominent, the chjpeus strongly dilated anteriorly 

 and distinctly notched at the margin. The prothorax is rather 

 narrow, the sides strongly angulated before the middle and 

 rather contracted to the base and the basal lobe is slight but 

 rather pointed. The elytra are well sinuated at the lateral 

 margins. The legs are red, with the femora generally black. 

 The club of the antenna is rather short. 



2 . Rather less elongate than the c^ ■, with the elytra paler 

 and the dorsal markings buff-coloured. The prothorax is entirely 

 buif, with a black median line (interrupted in the middle), two 

 short obli(iue vitta> at the anterior edge and two parallel ones 

 extending from withm the posterior angles to about the middle. 

 The two latt('r are strongly elevated and shining. The elytral 

 markings are like those of the male but larger and less brightly 

 coloured.
