Head black and small. Antennae rather longer than the thorax, black, 5-jointed, the two basal 

 joints being shortest. Thorax convex, and slightly margined at the sides ; of a fine scarlet colour, with 

 two black spots thereon ; somewhat oval, but the outline forming with the head an obtuse angle, the 

 points on the sides being cut off. Wings defended by a thick scaly scutellura, which is vei7 convex and 

 smooth, without any suture, entirely covering the abdomen and extending to the anus, of a scarlet colour, 

 with two broad, black, indented and irregular bars crossing it ; one next the thorax which is broadest, and 

 on which are two small scarlet spots; the other placed just below the midcOe, and seeming to be com- 

 posed of four spots united together ; beneath this are two small black spots, nearly round, situated near 

 the anus. Fig. a. represents one of the hemelytra, which when at rest are concealed beneath the 

 scutellum, having the basal portion or corium strong, thick, and opake ; and the teraiinal portion beyond 

 the transverse rib membranaceous. The wing at b. is very thin and membranaceous; being more 

 transparent than the hemelytra. Abdomen scarlet, with an oblong black spot at the anus, and four 

 others on each side joining to the edge. ITie breast appears in a strong light of a deep mazarine blue, 

 almost black. Legs, the same. The proboscis is also blue, lying close to the breast, and extending to 

 the beginning of the abdomen.
