pygidium, the sides of the sternum and four transverse stripes 

 on each side of the ahdomen are of tlie same colour. 



The body is rather long and narrow and a little depressed 

 along tlie scutellar region. The chjpeus is strongly punctured 

 and bilobed and the forehead longitudinally carinate. The 

 jjrothora.v is heptagonal, a little broader than long, with the sides 

 strongly augulated before the middle and approximating behind 

 and the posterior lobe very broad and sliort. The eli/tra are 

 strongly sinuated at the sides and narrowed towards 'the apices, 

 and each bears a slight longitudinal costa. The pygidium is 

 finely rugose.

 bears a thick tuft of golden hairs on its inner face, and the 

 abdomen is a little channelled beneath. 



$ . The upper surface is less opaque, the pronotum a little 

 broader and more rugose, and the hind tarsi shorter. In the

 on each side extending from before the middle to the hind angle ; 

 the middle line of the scutellnm, the entire sutunil margins 

 of the elytra from base to apex, dilated at the middle and apex, 

 and two spots at the outer margin of each. A broad median 

 patch upon the pygidium, the mesosternal epimera, sides of the
