found punctures, and an impressed spot before 

 the scutel : elytra with narrow, deep striae, and, 

 at tip, bidentated; an abbreviated fulvous vitta 

 originates near the humerus, and extends near 

 to the middle; a transverse, abbreviated, undu- 

 lated fulvous band, a little beyond the middle, 

 does not quite reach the suture; intermediate 

 between this band and the tip of the elytra, is 

 another undulated one, of the same colour; at 

 the tip, is also a narrow band : pectus greenish- 

 violaceous; a dilated vitta in the middle, and 

 another each side, fulvous ; the latter on its ante- 

 rior part passes a little above the edge of the 

 thorax, and is in some specimens continued back- 

 wards to the base of the thorax, forming a mar- 

 gin on that part, but not covering the edge; 

 postpedus green, tinged with brassy, and some- 

 what sericeous ; a yellow spot near the middle, 

 and two or three on each side: feet rufo-viola- 

 ceous : venter rufo-violaceous, more or less varied 

 with green, particularly at the base, and with 

 three series of obscure fulvous spots, two of 

 which are lateral.
