area in front of the scutellum. There are also white or pale yellow- 

 markings consisting of a pair of minute spots at the middle of the 

 pronotum and a second anterior pair (one or both pairs frequently 

 absent), a transverse patch beyond the middle of each elytron, 

 adjoining the outer margin, and three minute spots anterior and 

 three posterior to this patch (some of them frequently absent). In 

 the (S the sides of the pygidium and those of the sternum and 

 abdomen are broadly bordered with the same colour. In the $ 

 the pygidium is black and shining, and the sides of the abdomen 

 are only partially decorated with white. 



The body is depressed and moderately elongate, and the upper 

 surface is studded with extremely minute setae. The head is 

 finely and closely punctured, and the front margin moderately 

 deeply notched in the middle. The prothorax is very short and 

 transverse, finely and fairly closely punctured above, with the 

 hind angles rounded off and the base sinuated. The scutellum is 

 short and very blunt. The elytra are strongly jjunctate-striate, 

 with the apical part rugose, the lateral margins strongly sinuated 

 behind the shoulders, the apical margins finely serrated and the 

 apical angles spinose. The pygidmm is transversely strigose, the 

 metasternum and abdomen are sparingly punctured in the middle 

 and rugosely at the sides, and the sternal process is very short and 

 broad. The uppermost tooth of the front tibia is rather feeble. 



The sexual difference in the coloration of the pygidium and 

 abdomen has been described above.

Dark green, olive, or (in the $ ) black, opaque above, with the 

 head, legs and lower surface shining castaueous or blackish ; 

 decorated with whitish markings, consisting of a longitudinal line 

 on each side of the forehead, a narrow lateral line on each side of 

 the pronotum and four small discoidal spots (a pair near the middle 

 placed rather wide apart and an anterior pair placed nearer 

 together), a minute spot at each anterior angle of the scutellum, 

 and about eight irregular spots upon each elytron. There are 

 also six spots upon the pygidium, more or less coalescing into an 

 encircling line, and a series at the sides of the sternum, bind 

 coxae, and abdomen, the latter very small in the $ , but forming 

 a continuous broad band in the J . 



The shape is moderately elongate and depressed. The head is 

 closely and evenly punctured, except upon the vertex, and rather 

 deeply notched at the front margin. The pronotum is strougly
