the elytra are striated aud closely puuetured except at the outer 

 margins. The pygidium is closely transversely punctured and 

 bears a few long hairs near the apex. The sides of the meta- 

 sternum are closely punctured and rather thinly clothed with

light hair. The front tibia is armed with three teeth, the hind 

 tibia is a little constricted before the end, and the longer claw of 

 the front and middle feet is cleft. 



Besides the difference between the sexes in the coloration of 

 the elytra already described, there is a strongly marked divergence 

 in the sculpture of the elytra. Those of the male are deeply 

 punctate-striate, except at tlie sides, \^ hich are irregularly punc- 

 tured, and the intervals between the striae are slightly convex and 

 finely and closely punctured. In the female the fine punctures 

 are distinguishable at the sides, but obliterated upon the whole 

 dorsal surface, which is finely and densely rugose and completely 

 opaque. The striae are inconspicuous and the surface nearlv flat. 



In the male the apical tooth of the front tibia is moderately 

 sharp and in the female it forms a very blunt rounded lobe. 



Length, 12-5-14 mm. ; breadth, 7-8 mm.

This species is entirely peculiar in the striking difference of 

 sculpture that distinguishes the two sexes, which have been found 

 together upon apricot trees at Jolikote.

Testaceous yellow, with the head, pronotum (except the lateral 

 margins), scutellum, elytra, the anterior half of the pygidium^

Broadly oval in shape, very convex and rather shining. The 

 clypeus is broadly rounded and, like the forehead, densely and 

 rugosely puuetured. The pronotum is very finely and rather 

 sparsely puuetured, witli the sides quite evenly rounded, the 

 front angles nearly right angles, the hind angles very blunt and
