 grey spot behind the scutellum, another at each shoulder, a 

 narroA\-, obliqueh' transverse band on each a little behind 

 thes(% a transverse band behind the middle widened gradually 

 towards the suture and a broad ashy-grey band at the apex. 

 Body beneath black, glossy, with a large transverse spot on the 

 prosternum ; the episterna of the meso- and metathorax, the 

 middle of the mesosternuui, the sides and hind border of the 

 metasternnm, and a transverse band at the hind border of each of 

 the first two abdominal segments, densely covered with white 

 pubescence. Antennse about half the length of the body ; fifth 

 to eighth joints ashy grey, the rest dark bro\An. Prothorax 

 globose, alveolate-punctate. Elytra scarcely so wide as the pro- 

 thorax and not more than t^^■ice as long. Middle femora with a 

 fine carina along each side ; hind femora not carinate, extending 

 a little past the apex of the elytra in the 5 • First joint of hind 

 tarsi about equal to the remaining joints united.

Yery closely allied to G. moestus, Chevr., and of the same 

 colour ; the chief and almost only difference is in the ashy- 

 white markings of the elytra. These consist of a small oblong- 

 spot at each shoulder, a narrow band that begins behind the 

 scutellum, continued a short distance along the suture, and then 

 curved outwards to each side ; a transverse band behind the 

 middle which is more strongly produced anteriorly at the suture 

 than the corresponding band in C moestus, and a broad apical 

 band. The species is relatively a little longer and narrower than 

 C. moesttts, but agrees with it in structural details.

Black ; densely covered with pubescence which is of a greenish- 

 yellow colour on the head, prothorax and elytra and of a somewhat> 

 brighter yellow coloiu' on the body beneath : elytra marked each 

 with four or five rather small black spots — two close to the base, 

 one, transverse, at the middle and one halfway between the 

 middle and the apex ; the fifth spot, when present, placed a little 

 behind the basal two ; antennae and legs covered with ashy-grey 

 pubescence. Antennae reach to the middle of the elytra in the $ , 

 to a short distance beyond it in the J ; third joint subequal in 

 length to the first and scarcely longer than the fourth, fifth sub- 

 equal to the third in 5 , slightly longer in c^ . Prothorax oblong- 

 ovate, not so wide iu the middle as the base of the elytra. Elytra
