The principal characteristics which separate this species from 

 tlie larger Sthpiiatia already described are the presence of a 

 ilepressed sutural region extending for half tlie length of the 

 elytra, expanding into a si^uare patch of a lighter red than the 

 re.st of the elytra, this depression or Hatteiied space being 

 clothed with griseous hairs, (shining when viewed sideways, 

 especially with the head of the insect towards one), and the 

 rniiuni'.HCHinant of a fascia of these hairs on the margin about 

 a third from the apex, but no trace of the fascia towards the 

 suture as in rajii-nutre &c., the apex itself is also densely clotlied 

 with them, with the exce}»tion of four minute spots which are 

 nude. The series of granules resolve themselves into punctures 

 lief ore the middle, the third and fourth being carried on a 

 puncture or two further than the succeeding four stritu. The 

 granules in all these larger species appear t(j be the spaces 

 between the punctures, which are raised, giving the idea of a 

 rasp. Underneath the metasternum and abdomen are entirely 

 red ; the middle and posterior femora are more or less pitcliy at 

 their apices, their tibia' and tarsi pitchy. Antenn;e pitchy 

 black.
