upon tlie alternate iiiter\als, the others being narrow , convex and 

 minutely punctured. Tlie pygidium and lower sui-f'ace are very 

 thinly hairy, and the uietasternuni is finely and closely punctured. 

 The front tibia bears two strong teeth placed rather close together, 

 the hind tibia is long and slender, and the front and uiidclle feet 

 have the larger claw bitid.

 and very sharp.

Three specimens taken by Verschraeghen at Kurseong are 

 males and have the pygidium transversely striolated and broadly 

 blnck at the hase, while four specimens from the Indian Museum, 

 taken at Kurseong and yiliguri, are all females, with the pygidium 

 densely pitted and yellow, except for a very narrow black basal line,

Pale yellow, with the bead, a niedian stripe upon the |n'onotum 

 extending from front to hind margin (narrowed before the latter 

 but extending along it almost fron) side to side), the scutellum, 

 and two irregular transverse bands upon the elytra (the anterior 

 one frequently reaching the base and sometimes uniting with the 

 posterior baud), black or dark brown ; the bead, thoracic markings 

 and scutellum faintly metallic. The base of the pygidium (with 

 a pointed median prolongation), the tibiae and tarsi are also dark, 

 tlie front and middle tibijB sometimes yellow on their inner side. 

 The antennae are long and j^ellow. 



It is narrow, rather parallel-sided and not convex. The clypeus 

 is small, narrowly semicircular and rugose. The eyes are large, 

 the forehead very coarsely rugose, and the vertex strongly but 

 not densely punctured. The pronotum and scutellum are closely 

 punctured ; the sides of the former are angulated before the 

 middle, strongly convergent to the front angles, which are acute, 

 and slightly divergent to the hind angles, which are nearly light 

 angles. The elytra have three or four pairs of punctured striae, 

 bordering slight costae, which, like the remaining surface, are 

 minutely and rather sparingly punetulated ; the intervals are 

 irregularly punctured. The pygidium is transversely striolated 

 and bears long hairs at the apex. The metasternum is densely 

 punctured and clothed with rather long yellow hair, except in 

 the middle, and the abdomen is strongTy but not closely punc- 

 tured. There is no sternal process. The front tibiae are strongly 

 bidentate, the hind tibiae very long and slender and the longer 

 claw of the front and middle feet is cleft. 



S . The inner front claw is broad and its lower edge strongly 

 bisinuated. 



Length, 13-14-0 mm. ; breadth, 7-7*5 mm.
