fifth at the base black ; elytra dark bro\\n, tomentose, marked each 

 with five or six rather narrow, longitudinal bands of a reddish 

 colour which is more or less obscured in fresh specimens bj- a 

 covering of tawny or somewhat golden pubescence ; these bands, 

 with the exception of the one nearest the outer margin, are placed 

 along slightly raised obtuse costae ; the first costa, placed close to 

 the suture, is distinct only on the basal third of the elytron, it 

 approaches more closely to the suture posteriorly and appears to 

 be continued as a very feeble sutm-al elevation which is again more 

 strongly raised near the apex ; second and third costae long, the 

 third united posteriorly with the fifth, marked near the base with 

 a few strong punctures. Antenna? slightly shorter than those of 

 P. coraUinus, Hope, but resemble them in the form of the joints. 

 Prothorax a little angulate at the middle of each side, transversely 

 wrinkled above, marked on the disc with two longitudinal, slightly 

 curved, linear impressions which are less widely separated in 

 front. 



Length 19-28; breadth 5-8 mm.

Brownish-red or red in colour, with black spots on the prothorax 

 and greyish-black spots and patches on the elytra ; metathorax 

 and abdomen entirely black, with a faint 

 covering of grey pubescence ; femora 

 marked each with a black spot in. front 

 and another posteriorly, xlutenuae with 

 joints third to fifth strongly thickened 

 towards the apex, these aud the sixth 

 tufted with short tawny or black hairs 

 beneath near the apex. Prothorax very 

 glossy, transversely rugose, marked above 

 M'ith five, aud on each side with three or 

 four black spots. Elytra faintly pubes- 

 cent, for the most part rather dull ; each 

 with an elongate greyish-black spot near 

 the shoulder, another at the suture near 

 Pachylocerus crassicornis, the base, and Uvo small spots on the disc 

 Oliv. X |. between ; a rounded depressed velvety black 



spot on the disc a little before the middle, 

 and a large greyish-black patch on the posterior half, this patch 

 widened posteriorly, sometimes giving off a branch towards the 

 suture, where it joins a short sutural band of the same colour ; 

 all these elytral spots and patches somewhat variable. The elytra 

 in this species relatively shorter than in the others, not more than
