normal form in having a fairly large blackish blotch on 

 each side of the scutellum.

This species is variable in its colouring. In some 

 specimens the head is entirely pallid, in others the base is 

 black. The markings at the base of the elytra are usually 

 sharply defined and have a more or less sinuous outline 

 posteriorly, but in one specimen before me they are almost 

 absent, a slight infuscation of the shoulders and a space 

 near the suture being all that is left. In some specimens 

 the legs are almost entirely pallid, in others only parts of 

 the femora are dark ; the metasternum has a space of 

 variable size varying from slightly infuscate to deep black. 

 The antennae sometimes have the lower surface of all the 

 joints pale, sometimes but of three or four.

In the description the antennae are stated to be " in- 

 serted almost beneath the eyes " ; as a matter of fact each 

 antennae is nearer to an eye than to its fellow but they 

 are not inserted almost beneath the eyes. Of the speci- 

 mens before me (two of them are co-types) two are females 

 with the metasternum slightly infuscate at sides ; the 

 others are males with the metasternum much darker, the 

 base of the head infuscate and the antennae considerably 

 longer.

The antennae are inserted much as in rufiventris. The 

 under surface is variable in colour, as in several specimens 

 the abdomen, except at apex, is entirely pale. In the 

 types and in other specimens the base of the elytra is 

 stained with black, the stains are continued along the 

 sides and are then dilated so as to touch the suture at
