This is a very beautifully marked and distinct species 
of the genus. Iam unacquainted at present with any 
near ally. I possess a female specimen (possibly dis- 
coloured), in which the head and pronotum are very 
dark and dull ochraceous, the mesonotum castaneous,

of the tegmina are also castaneous in this specimen.
