 first grey band basal, curved and continued backwards some dis- 

 tance on each side of the disc ; the second band narrowly triangular 

 with its apex almost touching the scutellum, its base continued on 

 each side as a short transverse band from which an anterior branch 

 is given off ; the third is a broad band placed for the greater part 

 behind the middle with its front margin more or less rounded ; 

 the fourth a broad apical band. Body beneath covered with 

 pubescence chiefly of a grey colour, but moi'e or less whitish on 

 the middle of the prosternum and mesosternum, on the episterna 

 of the meso- and metathorax and on the second abdominal seg- 

 ment. Antennae shorter than the body in both sexes ; third and 

 fourth joints strongly spined at the apex, the fifth witli a very 

 feeble spine. Prothorax broadly ovate or subglobular, as wide in 

 the middle as the base of the elytra, reticulate-punctate. Elytra 

 about two and a half times as long as the prothorax, dentate at 

 the outer angles of the apex. Bind femoi'a extended by a fourth 

 of their length past the apex of the elytra in the $ . First joint 

 of the hind tarsi about twice as long as the next two joints united.

 the base, is asliy grey and encloses an obliquely elongated black 

 spot ; the second band is black, narrow and strongly oblique ; the
