which is continued by two stripes on the head; a short streak 

 below the eye, a stripe on the uppeiside of the first and second 

 segments of the o^ -antenna and the entire segments 7 and 8 of 

 the 5 -antenna of the same colour (segments 6— 11 of the antenna 

 missing in the d* ). The two stripes of the head are continued over 

 the thorax in an oblique direction and each is divided in the middle 

 of the thorax into two stripes, between which there are two velvety 

 black spots, one a short distance in front of and the other behind 

 the carina; a third black spot at the outer side of the undivided 

 apical portion of the stripe, and a vestige of a fourth coupled with 

 a small buff-ochraceous dot laterally behind the middle. The four 

 buff-ochraceous stripes of the basal half of the pronotum are con- 

 tinued on to the elytra, the lateral ones turning laterad behind the 

 humeral callosities, and the central ones terminating on a level with 

 the former. The alternate interspaces of the elytra are con- 

 spicuously chequered with buff-ochraceous and black, there being 

 a round spot on the feebly convex subbasal callosity and another 

 between stripes i and 5 in the centre both being much larger than 

 the other spots; interspaces 2, 4, 6 and 8 not spotted, and wider 

 than I, 3, 5, 7 and 9. Pygidium with a thin median stripe and a 

 lateral one buff-ochraceous. 



Underside with sharply marked buff ochraceous spots; the 

 mesosternal process, a spot on the coxae, one on the fore-' and 

 mid femora and two on the hindfemur. a small basal ring and a 

 larger median one on the tibiae, the first tarsal segment with the 

 exception of its apex, and a spot on the fourth segment also buff- 

 ochraceous 



The prosternal groove of the a- deep, longer than broad ; the 

 spine, which stands at each side of it and is separated from the 

 coxal cavity by a very narrow interspace, is divided at the apex 

 into two short obtuse branches, which are almost horizontal, the 

 anterior branch being longer than the posterior one. The velvety 

 median patch of the metasternum ( 0*) is very large.

This genus and the following one, although but very scantily 

 represented in the Indian Museum, are excessively numerous in 

 species. They appear to be less abundant, however, in Northern
