 dark vitta and tliose of the external ruws are, however, more distinct, and the fonii 

 of the vitta' are ditl'crent. The suturai one is not |n<iloiigcd at the base, but truncate 

 anteriorly at the scntellum, wliich, as usual, is dark colored; at about two-thirds the 

 length it is suddenly slightly dilated nearly to the ai)ex. The outer vitta is a very 

 broad spot extcnding three fourths the length of the elytra: narrowed before and 

 behind, couvex on its inner, but inoderately emargiuate on its outer surface aliont 

 the middle. (sec. Rogers 1. c.)
