Hah. Mexico, Cuernavaca in Morelos (Iloge) ; Chil- 

 pancingo in Guerrero {H. H. Sinith). 



With a fulvous brown pubescence, mixed with grey on the front 

 of the head and towards the middle of the elytra. The elytra with 

 two narrow black bands placed between the middle and the apex, 

 the anterior less distinct and somewhat chevron-shaped, the pos- 

 terior strongly bowed forwards in the middle, and at the sides 

 curved round so that its outer extremities take a slightly forward 

 direction. For a short distance in front of the anterior band the 

 elytral pubescence has a paler greyish tint. Each elytron has two 

 or three slightly raised lines, along which at intervals are placed 

 minute tufts of short black hairs, with one somewhat larger than 

 the rest near the anterior extremity of the innermost line. Body 

 underneath and legs with a greyish pubescence. Antennae {^) 

 half as long again as the body, testaceous, with a grey pubescence, 

 which is somewhat unequally distributed over the basal joints, 

 these having in consequence a rather mottled appearance ; apices 

 of all the joints fuscous.
