punctured, except in the middle, which is a little elevated, and 

 the chjpeus is strongly bilobed. The pronotum is coarsely and 

 deeply punctured, the sides strongly margined, the hind angles 

 prominent and the base narrowly but strongly emarginate in the 

 middle. The scutellum is small and not very blunt at the apex. 

 The eli/tra are striate-punctate, with the sides very strongly 

 sinuated behind the shoulders and the posterior margins a little 

 excised near the apical angles, which are acute. The pyijidium is 

 slightly pitted, the sides of the metasternum are coarsely strigose, 

 and those of the abdomen sparingly punctured. The sternal 

 process is vertical in front and the point directed downwards. 



S . The front tibise and the hind tarsi are a little more slender 

 and the prothorax broader at the base.

A series of specimens in M. Kene Oberthiir's collection, and 

 taken by M. E. P, Cardon during 1896 and 1897 at Nowatoli 

 and Palkot, in Chota Xagpur, belong to a well-marked variety, in 

 which the pale elytral patch is greatly enlarged, being fully half 

 as long as the elytron, and presenting a rounded lobe in front 

 and two similarly rounded lobes behind.

Shining black, with the elytra opaque and sooty, except at the 

 inner margins, and with a lemon-yellow patch beyond the middle of 

 each, broad at the outer margin and pointed at its inner extremitv. 



The form is depressed, broad at the shoulders, with the 

 head small, and the elytra straight at the sides and strongly 

 narrowing towards the extremity. The Jiead is strongly punc- 

 tured, with the chipeus long, narrowing towards the front, where 

 it is rather deeply notched. The prothora.v is convex, coarsely 

 punctured, with the sides strongly margined and angulated in the 

 middle. The scutellum is rather small, pointed, and impunctate. 

 The elytra are coarsely striate-punctate, \\ ith the margins strongly 

 sinuated behind the shoulders and minutely excised at the ex- 

 tremities, and the apical angles acute. The pygidhnn is feebly 

 punctured and the metasternum and abdomen coarsely so, except at 

 the middle. The sternal process is vertical in front and the point 

 directed downwards. The front tibuv are tridentate in tlie female, 

 but the uppermost tooth is almost obsolete in the male. In the 

 latter the prothorax is broader at the base and the apical angles of 

 the elytra are strongly spinose.
