298 Mr. J. S. Baly's descrijJtions of new genera, ^c. 



narrow vitta extending from base to apex, black. Scutel- 

 lum pale piceous. Elytra much broader than the thorax, 

 narrowly oblong, convex, transversely excavated below 

 the basilar space, finely pnnctate-striate, the punctures at 

 the base near the suture, those on the transverse depres- 

 sion, and those on the lateral stria, larger and more deeply 

 impressed than the rest ; the fulvous spot at the base of 

 each elytron is only a few shades lighter in colouring than 

 the general surface, and in some specimens is scarcely 

 visible ; it is bounded Avithin by the black sutural line, 

 and externally by a short, curved, black vitta, which com- 

 mences on the basal margin, and terminates on the sub- 

 basilar excavation.
