6 GLENEA BISBIGUTTATA. 
the anterior and middle coxae. The scutellum is elongate 
triangular, narrowly notched at the tip and covered (the 
lateral margins excepted) with a dense white pubescence. 
The elytra, which are much broader at the base than 
the thorax, are constricted in a rather strongly curved line 
behind the shoulders which are prominent, rounded and 
directed backwards; the apices are broadly and somewhat 
obliquely emarginate and provided with four spines: the 
external ones stout, the sutural ones small; the disk of 
the elytra is covered with large and deep punctures which 
are however absent from the apical portion; on the deflexed 
lateral portions the punctures are arranged in two regular 
rows which are separated by the smooth keel. Each elytron 
is provided with the following white markings: a very 
small longitudinal spot at the base, midway between the 
scutellum and the shoulder, an ante-apical transverse spot, 
two contiguous ovate spots on the middle of the basal half, 
of which the outermost touches the bordering keel of the 
deflexed portion, and a little behind the middle of the 
length two similar spots which are approximate but not 
contiguous, and of which the innermost (approaching the 
suture and being somewhat oblique) is placed nearer to the 
middle of the length than the outermost which touches 
the bordering keel. 
The sides of the metasternum and of the abdomen have 
spots of a dense white pubescence. The legs are steel-blue 
and covered with a greyish pile.
