 p. 560. 



Black, with brick-red patches upon the elytra, and decorated 

 with pale yellow markings. 



It is very narrow and elongate and only slightly tapering. 

 The head is relatively rather broad, with a strong longitudinal 

 keel behind and distinctly sinuated at the front margin. The 

 prothora.v is coarsely granulated, the posterior part depressed and 

 the lobe very slight, so that the scutellum appears very long. 

 The sides of the eh/tra are only very gently sinuated and the 

 costse are moderately strong. The legs are slender. 



d" . There are two longitudinal pale lines upon the head, a 

 median line upon the pronotum, bifurcating in front, but not 

 reaching the anterior margin, a broad longitudinal line upon the 

 scutellum, constricted or interrupted in the middle, a patch at 

 the middle of the elytral suture, two lateral spots and an apical 

 one upon each elytron, and patches at the middle of the pygidium, 

 the mesosternal epiniera and the sides of the sternum and 

 abdomen. The prothorax is broadest at the base and its sides 

 are strongly angulated before the middle. The club of the 

 antenna is very long and tlie abdomen strongly excavated 

 beneath. 



The $ is relatively longer, the prothorax is nearly circular in 

 shape, and the antennal club and the hind tarsi are shorter. 

 The yellow markings are similar to those of the male, but the 

 prothorax has only a short longitudinal line at the posterior part 

 and the pygidium is immaculate. 



Length 12 mm. ; breadth 5 mm.

Black, with the elytra dark red except for a black patch 

 behind the scutellum produced to the shoulders, a transverse 

 median fascia and the apical margins, and decorated witii white 

 markings consisting of a spot behind the scutellum, another at 

 the middle of the elytral suture and t^o transverse marginal
