Obs. Diliers only from decassatas, Kl. by the colour of the 

 thorax, legs, parts of the mouth, and underside. I have one 

 specimen (Salvin) taken at an altitude of 5000 feet, also another 

 from the same locality (Saunders).

Head and thorax punctured, latter with a transverse arcuate 

 impression disappearing in the side, base constricted, length 

 greater than width. Elytra most distinctly punctured in the
