Mr Perkins has collected 23 specimens of Lasiochilus which I refer to this species, 

 though none of them accord exactly with the colour descriptions of White and Reuter. 

 These specimens differ also greatly among themselves, and had I had before me only 

 the two or three extreme forms, I should have probably described them as different 

 species. The intermediate forms both of size and colour, however, prevent me from 

 separating them here. 



The commonest form is ; 



(i) Head, pronotum and scutellum shining blackish-brown; elytra dead black 

 with short yellowish hairs, and with the following ochraceous marks, clavus with a large 

 spot about the middle, the extreme base of corium, apical half of clavocorial suture and 

 two or three submedian corial spots ; membrane fumate with two or three basal, and 

 one apical spot.
