222 GLENEA FLORENSIS. 



two broader lateral ones; just above the coxae another 

 broad white stripe, continuous with the postocular stripe 

 of the head, is present. The scutellum is somewhat elon- 

 gate triangular with curvilinear sides and densely covered 

 with a white pubescence. 



The elytra, which are much broader at the base than 

 the thorax , taper in straight lines from the angular shoul- 

 ders to the end which is truncate and provided with four 

 spines of which the external ones are slightly larger than 

 those at the suture; the front margin of the shoulders is 

 straight and slightly directed backwards. The disk of the 

 elytra is densely covered with large and deep punctures 

 which, however, become evanescent towards the end; 

 on the deflexed sides the punctures are arranged in rows. 

 The disk of the elytra is provided with the following 

 white markings : a sutural stripe on the apical half com- 

 mon to both elytra and divided by the suture ; four elon- 

 gate ovate spots on the middle of the basal half (two spots 

 on each elytron) of which the two innermost are placed 

 nearer to the base than the two outermost; a more or 

 less square spot just before the middle of each elytron 

 touching neither the suture nor the lateral carina ; an 

 elongate ovate spot on the middle of the apical half clo- 

 sely approximated to the lateral carina, and finally a spot 

 on the extreme apex of each elytron. 



The sterna, abdomen and legs have vived purplish and 

 blue tinges ; the sterna are white on the sides ; the abdo- 

 men has four rows of white spots (in the cf the two rows 

 on each side are united along the hind margin of the 

 segments), and the legs, especially the tibiae and the 

 tarsi, are covered with a greyish pile.
