GLENEA NIVEA. Hi 
The head is provided on the face with two white stripes 
bordering the inner orbits and joining the base of the 
clypeus, moreover with a transverse white stripe at the 
sides of the head a little above the base of the mandibles, 
and with four white stripes on the vertex: two in the 
middle, closely approximate, beginning in front of the 
antennary-tubers and reaching to the front margin of the 
prothorax, and two laterally, beyond the insertion of the 
antennae; the mandibles are covered on the outside with 
a white pubescence. The three basal joints of the antennae 
are bluish black and nitid, the remaining joints dull 
black. The face and the vertex have a few large and deep 
punctures, 
The prothorax is slightly shorter than broad at the base, 
subcylindrical, the basal angles being but faintly divergent; 
a fine raised line runs along the middle of the disk; the 
pronotum is covered with a dense white pubescence, with 
the exception of two approximate elongate ovate slightly 
divergent basal spots whereupon a black pubescence occurs. 
The sides are smooth and glossy, impunctate, and imme- 
diately above the anterior and intermediate coxae a broad 
band of a dense white pubescence is present. The scutellum 
is triangular, with curvilinear sides and rounded tip, and 
entirely covered with a very dense white pubescence. 
The elytra, which are much broader at the base than 
the thorax, are narrowing in faintly curved lines behind 
the shoulders which are slightly prominent with rounded 
angles; the apices are broadly and somewhat obliquely 
emarginate and provided with four spines: the external 
ones stout, the sutural ones small. The elytra are densely 
covered with a white pubescence which, however, leaves 
free a longitudinal humeral streak, a transverse streak 
immediately before the apical emargination of which the 
margin is fringed with white hairs, and the keels and 
outer margin of the deflexed lateral portions of the elytra, 
The punctuation with which the elytra are covered is partly 
concealed by the pubescence.
