In the var. tricincta the black pigment is induced, so that the 

 two anterior spots coalesce, and the posterior one is much enlarged, 

 leaving a very small apical spot. Thorax and legs red.

 the black pigment is diminished, the posterior fascia deeply angu- 

 late, the apical spot enlarged. Tasmania (Deyrolle).

 less black; elytra with a basal fascia dilated along the suture, 

 a medial fascia dilated at the margin and at the suture, and a

Cordate, dark red, elytra with the base broadly black, a com- 

 mon medial transverse fascia widest on the outer margins and bent
