MACEONOTA. 63 



consti'icted at the middle, upon the prothorax ; the entire 

 scutellum ; two lateral spots upon each elytron, one before 

 and the other beliind the middle, and a sutural line not reaching 

 the scutellum or the apex and greatly enlarged at each extremity. 

 A large circular patch in the middle of the pygidium, the 

 mesosternal epimera, the sides of the sternal plates and large 

 irregular patches at the sides of the abdomen are of the same 

 colour. 



It is a rather robust species, flattened above. The clypeus is 

 strongly notched in front and carinated behind. The 2i'>'onotuni 

 is very finely and densely punctured and clothed with micro- 

 scopically fine setae. The sides are not angulated but are arcuate 

 in front and straight behind, in the S very slightly diverging 

 and in the $ nearly parallel. The posterior part of the disc is 

 strongly depressed in the middle and the lobe is very short and 

 broad. The sides of the elytra are moderately sinuated behind 

 the shoulders and narrowed to the ends. There is a strongly 

 marked carina down the middle of each, the internal portion is 

 rather shining and the external portion finely rugose and opaque. 

 The abdomen is rather strongly, but not thickly, punctured. 



The abdomen of the J is longitudinally grooved. 



Length 15"5-19 ram. ; breadth 7-9 mm.

Black, with the elytra partially, the end of the clypeus, the 

 tibiae, tarsi and antennal club entirely red ; decorated with yellow 

 markings consisting of two broad lines upon the head, two 

 incomplete lateral lines upon the prothorax and a median 

 V-shaped mark extending from the front to the liind margin, 

 a minute median spot and two lateral ones upon each elytron, 

 a large patch upon the pygidium, patches upon the mesosternal 

 epimera and the sides of the sternum, and four transverse bars 

 upon each side of the abdomen. 



This is a small species, elongate and tapering in form. The head 

 is moderately broad, with a strong median longitudinal carina, and 

 the clypeus gently sinuated in front. The prothorax is transverse, 

 closely punctured in the middle and rugose at the sides. It is 

 impressed behind and broadly lobed and the sides are obtusely 

 angulated before the middle. The sides of the elytra are gently 

 sinuated behind the shoulders and the dorsal costa is moderately 

 pronounced. The legs are rather slender. 



(S . The club of the antenna is rather long, and the abdomen 

 is excavated along the middle. 



Length 12*5 mm.; breadth 5 mm.
