 drawn across the apex of the head, anterior lateral margins 

 obtusely blackly dentate, posterior lateral margins of produced 

 angles distinctly serrate ; outer claval margin, posterior and 

 anterior lateral margins, and veins of corium luteous ; mem-

 tuberculous spots ; margins of the transverse abdominal spiracles 

 bkick ; posterior tibia) inwardly obtusely angulate, w ith an obscure 

 luteous spot near base. 



Length 26 to 28 ; breadth between apices of pronotal angles 

 11| millim. 



Hah. North-east Bengal {Coll. Bist.). — China. 



This is a species generally received from China, but of which 

 a female specimen from N.E. Bengal is in my own collection. It 

 may be distioguished from the other species of the genus here 

 •enumerated by the strongly anteriorly produced pronotal angles.
