pubescentibus; elytris cupreo-maculatis, apice bispinoso : 
Subtus aurea, nigro-maculata, punctata. 
Dark purplish-black, covered with golden coppery spots; the 
spots clothed with a yellow deciduous pubescence. Head rugose, 
with a faint irregular raised line on each side between the eyes; 
the rugosities filled with a yellow pubescence. Thorax nearly 
twice as broad as long; anterior margin and base almost straight ; 
sides diverging to the middle, then nearly straight ; disk remotely 
punctured, with a punctured dorsal furrow; sides rugose, the 
elevated portions black and glabrous, the foveolets themselves 
filled with whitish powdery pubescence ; near the posterior angle 
on each side is a very deep pit; posterior angles green. Scutel- 
lum smooth and brilliant. Elytra little wider than the thorax, 
parallel for about two-thirds of their length, then rapidly con- 
verging to the apex, which is somewhat truncate and ciliate ; 
each elytron armed with two spines ; disk punctate-striate, black- 
blue, covered with coppery foveolets, which in fresh examples 
are filled with yellowish powdery pubescence; the shoulders and 
two or three ridges on the elytra are slightly raised, especially 
near the apex; apex and suture green. Beneath golden, punc- 
tured, with a deciduous pubescence, spotted with black-blue.

Caput parvum; oculi magni, in vertice approximati; anten- 
narum cavez magne, ab epistomate infra marginate. Thorax 
postice latissimus. £lytra ad humeros latissima, apice sex- 
dentato. Scutellum magnum, cordiforme. Tarsi dilatati. 
Head small; eyes large, very little prominent, approximate on 
the vertex ; epistome slightly emarginate and elevated, forming the 
inferior margins of the antennary cavities, which are very large; 
their lateral margins are formed by two carine branching from 
the epistome, which are produced along the edges of the eyes 
without touching them. Antenne with the five basal joints rounded, 
the remaining portion serrate ; first joint pyriform, second short,
