fepot. a large patch on each side of the pygidiiim, and a row of spots 

 on each side of the sternum and abdomen. 



The head is closely punctured, rather long and deeply notched in 

 front. The prothorux is finely punctured, attenuated in front and 

 strongly and rather sharply lobed behind. The elytra are rather 

 parallel-sided, and little narrowed towards the extremity : they 

 are coarsely punctured in rows, with two well-marked costse upon 

 each. The sternal process is conical, rather long and acuminate. 



In the 5 there are three sharp, equidistant teeth to the front 

 tibia. In the S the uppei'most tooth is distant from the other 

 two and much shorter. 



The pale markings are liable to reduction and in one specimen 

 in the British Museum have disappeared entirely.

 upon each side of the pygidium, and small patches on each side of 

 the sternum and abdominal segments. 



The 7iead is closely punctured, gently raised and a little less 

 punctured along the middle, and the clypeiis is rather deeply 

 notched in front. The pronotum is lightly and sparingly punc- 

 tured, with the basal lobe strong and rather sharp. The elytra 

 have a sutural row of fine i^unctures and an incomplete inner row, 

 and the external and apical margins are irregularly and more 

 coarsely punctured. The median part of the iryrfidivm is finely 

 transversely striolated, the metastemmn is coarsely punctured, and 

 the abdomen very sparsely punctured at the sides. The sternal 

 2)roc€ss is an elongate cone directed obliquely downwards.
