margin to vvithin a short distance of the suture, the first spot just 

 behind the shoulder, the second in front of the middle, the third 

 between the middle and the apex ; the second spot is widened to- 

 wards the outer margin. Body beneath ashy grey, the episterna of 

 the meso- and metathorax, the hind border of the metasternum, and 

 a postero-lateral transverse spot on each of the first two abdominal 

 segments white. Antenna? ashy grey, about equal in length to 

 the body in the $ , exceeding it by the last two joints in the J ; 

 third and fourth joints subeqiial in length, very distinctly spined 

 at the apex ; fifth longer, unarmed. Prothorax ovate-cylindrical. 

 Elytra dentate at the outer angles of the truncate apex. Hind 

 femora extending past the apex of the elytra by nearly a fifth of 

 their length in the $ and by more than a third of their length in 

 the (S ; subdentate at the apex. Pirst joint of hind tarsus rather 

 more than twice as long as the next two joints united.

Black ; head and prothorax covered \\'\t\\ grey pubescence, pro- 

 thorax with a broad black baud across the middle ; scutellum 

 \\hite ; elytra black, marked with three ashy-grey bands — the first 

 at rather less than one-third from the base, widened or curved 

 forward anteriorly at the suture, the second transverse, placed a 

 little behind the middle, the third at the apex. Body beneath 

 black, faintly covered with dark grey pubescence ; prosternum in 

 front of the coxie, mesosternum between the coxa3, an oblique spot 

 on each of the mesothoracic episterna, a broad band across the 

 hind part of the metathorax and a transverse posterior band on 

 each of the first two abdominal segments white. Head marked 

 above w ith a few sparse punctures. Antennae nearly twice as long 

 as the body in the S , longer than the body by one or two joints 

 in the $ ; first six joints more or less densely covered with ashy- 

 grey pubescence, the rest dark bro\\"n ; third to sixth spined at 

 the apex, the spines rather short and slender. Prothorax about 

 one-third longer than broad, widest at the middle, feebly con- 

 stricted in front ; tlie upper sui-face asperate along the middle. 

 Elytra somewhat obliquely truncate at the apex, feebly dentate at 

 the outer angles. Hind femora extend by about one-fourth of 

 their length past the apex of the elytra in the J , sharply dentate 

 at the apex ; middle femora rather strongly asperate at the sides 

 in the distal half, sharply dentate at the apex, the front femora 

 asperate posteriorly near the apex. First joint of the hind tarsi 

 more than twice as long as the next tw united.
