transverse line upon the propygidium (the two inner ones minute), 

 three at the base and one at tlie apex of the pygidium, and a 

 lateral series upon the sternum, liind coxae and abdomen. 



The body is moderately broad and only scantily clothed with 

 fine setie, but with a denser black ])atch at the middle of each 

 elytron, four tufts near the hind margin of the pronotum, one at 

 each shoulder and apical callus of the elytra, and two at the hind 

 margin of tlie propygidium. The clypeits is long, entire, and 

 strongly punctured, " The pronotxun is bell-shaped, with the sides 

 a little divergent behind and the base strongly rounded. The 

 dorsal carin;e are rather feeble. The scutdlum is moderately long 

 and the elytra are rather straight at the apical margin. The 

 propygidial spiracles are sharply elevated and the two median 

 tubercles very prominent and equidistant from the spiracles and 

 from each other. The pi/gidmm is closely pitted, but shining 

 and scarcely setose. The leys are long, with the fr07it tibia 

 rather broad, the 4th tooth blunt and the rest very long and 

 sharp, and the basal joint of the hind tarsus is twice as long as 

 the second.

 and there are four nearly equidistant tufts placed before the base. 

 The scutellinn is rather narrow and pointed. The elytra are 

 rather feeblv striated ; each has a tuft at the shoulder and another
