224 HELOTA JENTINKIT. 



of the raeso- and metasternura, as well as the anterior 

 lateral angles of the raetasternum with a coppery hue; 

 the femora are fulvous with the end dark pitchy and with 

 a coppery hue on the tip; the tibiae are fulvous with the 

 base and a ring just beyond the middle pitchy; the tarsi 

 are pitchy with the base of the claw-joint and that of the 

 claws fulvous. 



The head is strongly produced in front of the eyes, very 

 densely punctured, the punctures on the narrowed front 

 portion finer; between the eyes two short slightly raised, 

 subparallel lines are present. 



The prothorax is broader at the base than long, slightly 

 narrowing in regularly convex lines towards the front, the 

 anterior angles protruding ; the lateral margins very dis- 

 tinctly crenulate, each of them with 10 crenulations ; the 

 base bisinuate, the lateral angles acute, the middle-lobe 

 truncate in front of the scutellum. The upper surface rugose 

 in consequence of the very dense punctuation and provided 

 with the usual elevations which are strongly punctate and 

 not very distinct. The scutellum is strongly transverse, 

 glossy and impunctate, impressed along the middle. 



Elytra elongate ovate, slightly narrowing towards the 

 end ; the apices conjointly rounded, slightly dehiscent at 

 the suture; the lateral margins rather distantly serrulate 

 on their apical third ; the upper surface of each elytron 

 provided, besides with the two convex yellow spots, with 

 four rows of slightly raised glossy warts : those of the two 

 innermost rows are ovate, those of the two outermost rows 

 narrow and elongate; the first and fourth row touch the 

 apical margin of the elytron ; the siitural striae of punc- 

 tures only are regular, on the rest of the elytra the punc- 

 tuation is very irregular, and, on the outer half, rather 

 confluent. 



The under surface of the head (except the throat) is 

 strongly punctured, the punctures on the middle portion 

 more widely separated. — The prosternum is sparsely 

 punctured, the punctures on the lateral portions are large,
