are not so numerous as in P. cupripes; the sternum is less dis- 
tinctly punctured. 
I have examined numerous specimens of this and the preceding 
species, and have always found the difference of size and colour-

This species is larger, and proportionably broader, than the 
Macronota regia of MM. Gory and Percheron. Its general 
colour is dull black. In the specimen before me the prominent 
parts of the thorax and elytra are glossy, but this is probably 
produced by rubbing. The upper surface of the head and cly- 
peus is thickly punctured, and presents two longitudinal golden 
yellow lines ; the space between these lines is slightly elevated, 
especially on the hinder part of the head. The thorax is but 
slightly broader behind than in front; the anterior and lateral 
margins are rounded, and the posterior margin is sinuated on 
either side; the disc is longitudinally depressed ; the depression 
is deep behind; the upper surface is thickly punctured, and co- 
vered with minute black hairs, excepting in the parts which are 
coloured yellow, these consist of a broadish central mark, and a 
narrow line running parallel with and close to the lateral and an- 
terior margin of the thorax. The elytra are somewhat suddenly 
contracted behind the shoulders, and slightly attenuated behind ; 
they are dull black, thickly but finely punctured, depressed in the 
region of the scutellum, and have the disc nearly flat, and the 
shoulders prominent. The scutellum is yellow, and there is a 
transverse narrow mark of the same colour on the base of each 
elytron, this mark touching the scutellum; on a line with the tip 
of the scutellum, and but little removed from the suture, are two 
reddish patches ; besides these, the elytra present five golden 
yellow spots,—a transverse spot on the suture, about midway be- 
tween the base and apex of the elytra, and four lateral spots, two 
on each side and not very far removed from the central one,—and 
behind these are two lines running parallel with and close to the 
* This is certainly the Macronota auro-guttata, described, since this paper was 
read, by Burmeister, in the third volume of his Handbuch, p. 323.
