gemina, Er., but in this species the antennae and elytra 
are longer and the latter are sinuated.) 4, 6th ventral

Antennae slender, the last joints not twice as broad as

scutellum dark and the postero-external angles largely 
dark, the dark markings often extending so as only to 
leave a yellow patch at anterior angles. Sometimes the 
elytra are almost entirely yellowish red. Sometimes 
the antennae are dark with lighter base (see 96). 0,

I have seen a mature specimen with one antenna entirely
