44 Mr. Waterhouse’s Descriptions of 
The general colour is brassy-green: on the upper surface of 
the head is a longitudinal yellowish-white stripe; the thorax has 
two small dots of the same colour situated in front and towards 
the sides, and, on either side, just above the base of the femur, is 
a large round spot: on the elytra are fourteen nearly equidistant 
round spots; two of these are situated near the scutellum (which 
is of moderate size and somewhat rounded behind), four on the 
disc of the elytra, two towards the apex, and three on each side 
near the outer margin: a spot is observable on each side of the 
meso- and meta-thoracic segments beneath, and of the abdominal 
segments ; the first abdominal segment has two additional quadrate 
spots—all these spots are formed of yellowish-white scales, which 
have a faint metallic lustre. The first and second joints of the 
antenne are brassy-green; the third is black, but with a greyish 
pubescence beneath ; the fourth is greyish, tipped with black, and 
the following joints are brownish, The thorax is nearly smooth 
above, but under a strong lens exhibits numerous very minute 
punctures; on the sides are some distinct punctures, and these 
parts are clothed with minute decumbent hairs—perhaps the upper 
surface may have been covered with similar hairs, which in the 
specimen before me have been rubbed off. The elytra are punc- 
tured, and the punctures are most deep and most abundant on the 
fore part. 
The short ovate body of this insect would at first lead one to 
suppose it allied to the Dorcadions; but in the form of the head, 
the slenderness of the antenna, and structure of the legs, it 
appears to me to approach more nearly to certain Saperde, and 
especially to the genus Colobothea, where the antenne are approxi- 
mated at the base.
