Rusty-red in the male, with the scutelluni and the extreme 

 edges of liead, prothorax and elytra black ; black in the female, 

 with a bright orange longitudinal band on each side of pro- 

 thorax and elytra, separated by about its own width from the 

 outer edge. Rather short in form and a little depressed. The 

 shoulders of the elytra not sharply angular. The front tibia 

 with only extremely niinuic lateral teeth and the middle and 

 hind tibia? without lateral spines. The })rosternum scarcely 

 compressed behind, pointed but not distinctly produced. 



$. The u})})er siuface is very smooth and glossy, except upon 

 tlie head and the sides of the pronotum, which are coarsely and 

 contiuently i)unctured, and the sides of the elytra, which arc 

 strongly and densely pmictured. Black, with orange band on 

 each side, which arises a little beyond the front margin of the 

 pronotum and almost reaches the posterior margin, the elytral 

 ])()rtion beghming just beyond the front margin and continuing 

 paiallel with the outer margin to within a short distance of the 

 suture. The greater part of the nictasternum and femora are 

 red. The lateral marguis of the pronotum are strongly and 

 continuously roimded from the front angles, which are fairly 

 sharp, to the base, without lateral or basal angles. 



'J'he lower surface is very shining, the metasteruum bearing 

 only sparse scattered punctures, mmute in the middle and 

 larger at the sides. The last ventral sternite is very strongly 

 ])unctured. The front tibia is ver}'^ slender, strongly ciu'ved 

 outwards and very mmutely toothed at the outer edge, and 

 bears at th(^ end a long terminal lobe, with a shorter one 

 beneath, another above and one or two teeth at the side. 

 The tarsi are very short. 



(^. Rusty-red, with the edges of the head, prothorax and 

 elytra, the antemiae, tibiae and tarsi dark ; the tarsi, the elytral 

 epipleurse and the extremity of the abdomen clothed with 

 bright yellow setae. Opaque above, except upon the sutural 

 margins of the elytra. The head bears a more or less sharp 

 longitudinal ridge on each side near the eye, the front margin 

 is laleralh' prominent, but not acutely, on each side, and tlie
