MACROMA OBERTHURT. 113 



tral lobe less produced , the yellow lateral bands are con- 

 tinued along the base and nearly united in front of the 

 scutellum and at the apex , and are almost connected by 

 a narrow yellow band interrupted in the middle ; the ely- 

 tra are slightly strigose at the sides with the black bor- 

 der narrower and not interrupted as in xanthorina, the 

 black apical and sutural borders are also narrower, the ou- 

 ter carinae on the pygidium are much more obtuse and 

 curve inwardly and unite with the central one towards 

 the apex, the mesosternal process is much narrower and 

 less produced and there are two additional yellow spots 

 on the metasternum. 3f. mirahilis is unknown to me in 

 nature but from the description and figure appears chiefly 

 to differ from oherthilri in wanting the yellow apical and 

 basal bands and black lateral spots on the thorax , in the 

 colour and the broader black margins of the elytra and 

 the absence of the inner yellow spots on the metasternum. 

 I am indebted to Mons. R. Oberthiir for a male of 

 this fine species and a female , from the same source , is 

 in the Leyden Museum.

Above dull red-brown , base of the head and disc of 

 the thorax brownish black ; the punctures of the head and 

 thorax pale luteous, on the thorax the punctures are con- 

 fluent and form a narrow pale median line and a less 

 clearly defined line on each side united behind by a V-shaped 

 mark; elytra with numerous minute luteous spots which 

 become confluent in places and form irregular cloudy mark- 

 ings , and two tolerably well defined narrow longitudi- 

 nal lines united at the apical callosity; a short oblique 

 linear mark close to the suture before the middle , a si- 

 milar mark at the side behind the middle and a small 

 lateral spot near the shoulder ochreous-white. Beneath pi- 

 ceous, shining, mesosternum and sides of the metasternum 

 luteous ; legs and antennae red-brown , the femora piceous
