IIELOTA WESTWOODII. 217 



The prothorax transverse, slightly narrowed in regularly 

 convex lines towards the front margin which is curved 

 backwards, making the lateral angles protruding; the base 

 bisinuate, the middle-lobe subtruncate, the lateral angles 

 acute; the lateral margins distinctly crenulate. The upper 

 surface coarsely punctured, the punctures on the raised 

 patches finer and wider apart. The scutellum strongly trans- 

 verse, broadly impressed along the middle. 



The elytra are broadest just before the anterior yellow 

 spot, thence slightly narrowing and, near the apex, more 

 strongly narrowed in a slightly concave line; the apices 

 are dehiscent at the suture and acutely pointed ; the lateral 

 margins are distantly serrate towards the apex. The elytra 

 are densely covered with punctures agreeing with those 

 on the pronotum, but the punctures are slightly smaller 

 on the scutellar region ; the sutural interstices are impunc- 

 tate and separated from the disk by a row of deeply impressed 

 punctures. Besides with two convex yellow spots each elytron 

 is provided with 5 rows of tubercles; the tubercles of the 

 the 1st and 2nd row are the largests and rather flattened, 

 those of the 3''^, 4*^ and 5tli row are very narrow, the 

 5th row is not very distinct. 



The under surface of the head (with the exception of 

 the throat) is covered with deep punctures; on the sides 

 of the prosternum the punctures are larger, evanescent 

 however towards the front angles; the sides of the metaster- 

 num, especially anteriorly, are deeply punctured. The abdomen 

 is very finely punctured, somewhat more strongly so towards 

 the sides; the last ventral segment has at the apex a very 

 distinct, transverse, semi-ovate impression. Metasternum 

 and legs simple.
