Fresia Besckei aureorufa, n. subsp. 
This new subspecies differs from the ,,Priority-Form” 
of Iresia Bescket Mannh. by the middle piece of the prothorax, 
this being less globiform (lateral sides less curvated), by 
the shorter elytra which show at their anterior third less 
transverse wrinkles and more separated rough punctures, 
by the yellow coloration of the whole abdomen and first 
joint of the antennae, by the reddish purple shining and
