9— Elytra with two more or less definite and approximate, but non-coalescent, 



dark spots very near the hase 10 



Elytra each with a small subsutural spot at some distance behind the scutel- 



lum 13 



lO — Elytra without maculatiou between the transverse band and basal sjjots, 



except occasionally near the lateral edges 11 



Elytra with a posteriorly arcuate transverse band between the fascia and the 

 base, which is composed of six short longitudinal dashes of slightly 

 darker brownish-piceous tint; subbasal spots also pale brown, large and 



indefinite 12 



11 — Subbasal spots prolonged oblic^uely outward, enclosing the pale humeri; 

 erect hairs of the elytra very long and bristling; thoracic process strongly 



constricted at base li iinilioldti n. sp. 



Subbasal spots not obliquely prolonged. 



Tlioracic process narrower and more gradually acuminate, not or feebly 

 constricted at base and generally differing but little sexually. 

 Elytra each with a subapical diffused spot of darker tint, {\avs. pihitci and 



dccoloratus Laf. ) Ilioiiodoil Fab. 



Elytra invariably pale behind the transverse fascia. 



Erect hairs of the elytra shorter and more incouspicxrous; transverse 

 fascia more even; vestiture finer and more decumbent. 

 Thoracic process moderate in size; sides of the elj'tra invariably pale. 

 Body stout, the black fascia extending almost to the sides. 



austiiiiaiiiis n. sp. 



Body narrow, the black fascia scarcely extending at all beyond 



the median line of each elytron, and having the form of two 



inverted commas lilicoriiis n. sp. 



Thoracic process very large, often fully one-half as w ide as the pro- 

 thorax; sides of the elytra dark dinocerilS n. sp.

 rower and acutely zig-zag desertus n. sp. 



Tlioracic process broadly spatuliform, strongly constricted at base at least 

 in the female.
