spots of a dense white pubescence , the head bronze green , 

 the legs reddish brown, the anterior and intermediate 

 tibiae and tarsi black. 



The head sparsely punctured, the punctures large and 

 deep; with two white stripes on the face bordering the 

 inner orbits and joining the base of the mandibles , a 

 white spot behind the lower lobe of the eyes, and four 

 white stripes on the vertex: two in the middle closely 

 approximate, beginning in front of the antennary tubers 

 and slightly diverging posteriorly, and two laterally behind 

 the insertion of the antennae. The three basal joints of 

 the antennae bluish black and subnitid , the remainder 

 dull black, with a greyish lustre in certain lights especi- 

 ally along the under surface. 



The prothorax is much narrower than the base of the 

 elytra, slightly broader in front than at the base, with 

 a deep furrow at the sides near to and parallel with the 

 base and another shallower and narrower one closely ap- 

 proximate to the front margin; its upper surface irregu- 

 larly covered with large and deep punctures, and with a 

 short basal median keel showing an impressed line ; the 

 disk is provided on each side with a longitudinal white 

 vitta and with two white spots on the middle-line, one 

 (the largest) touching the front-, the other (bilobed) touch- 

 ing the basal-margin ; just above the anterior and inter- 

 mediate coxae another white band is present. The scutellum 

 is broad, broadly rounded at the tip and covered with a 

 dense white pubescence. 



The elytra, which are much broader at the base than 

 the thorax , taper slightly backwards in straight lines and 

 are flattened on the sutural region ; the basal margin is 

 straight, the shoulders are angular and have a small knob 

 on the tip ; the apices are emarginate , sharply spined ex- 

 ternally , the sutural angle narrowly rounded ; the disk 

 of the elytra is densely covered with large and deep punc- 

 tures , which however become evanescent towards the end ; 

 along the deflexed portion the punctures are placed in two
