wMcli may also be found on the outer surface of the base 

 of the mandibles. The antennae distinctly longer in the 

 male than in the female, especially the apical joint, an- 

 nulated or subannulated with blue on the middle of the 

 scape and on the basal half of the following joints, gra- 

 dually decreasing towards the apex of the antennae so that 

 the apical joint is entirely black. 



The prothorax and scutellum densely covered with the 

 minute scaly whitish-green pubescence , with the exception 

 of a longitudinal band on the middle which commences 

 just behind the median tubercle and narrows towards the 

 front margin , and of two oblicpie bands running from be- 

 hind the lateral tubercles of the disk up to the apex of 

 the lateral spines. 



The elytra provided with five irregular more or less in- 

 terrupted transverse bands of whitish-green minute scales, 

 a border of similar scales along the apical portion of the 

 lateral margins and of the suture and two similar basal 

 spots , one between the shoulder and the lateral margin , 

 the other between the shoulder and the basal prominence 

 of the elytra. The apical segment of the abdomen not 

 entirely covered by the elytra in both sexes , provided with 

 whitish-green minute scales and margined with stiff black 

 hairs; in the male it is rounded, in the female broadly 

 truncated at the apex. 



The under surface densely covered with whitish-green 

 minute scales, forming on the abdominal segments trans- 

 verse bands which are widely interrupted on the middle. The 

 sternal process conically porrected, scaleless, but provided with 

 some erect black hairs. The apical ventral segment broadly 

 truncated at the apex ; it is transverse in the male , more 

 elongated and ob-conical in the female ; in the male the api- 

 cal margin is straight, in the female it is slightly emar- 

 ginate. The anterior surface of the coxae , the femora , 

 a broad ring near the base of the tibiae and the ujipcr 

 surface of the tarsal joints covered with whitish-blue scaly
