length of the third; the fifth still shorter; sixth transverse, two- 
thirds the length of the fifth; seventh not quite equal in length to 
the fifth, and, together with the four terminal joints, indistinctly 
thickened and slightly compressed, the apical joint acute ; sutural 
lines between these last four joints entirely obsolete. Thorax at 
the base rather more than one half as broad again as long, sides 
nearly straight behind, narrowed and slightly rounded in front ; 
basal margin deeply sinuate on either side, its middle portion pro- 
duced into a short broadly truncate lobe, the surface of which is 
oblique and deeply impressed with a transverse groove ; above 
subcylindrical, somewhat flattened in the middle, hinder portion 
of disc transversely excavated ; surface closely covered with large 
round deep punctures. Scutellum transverse, subpentagonal. 
Elytra broader than the thorax, subparallel in front, scarcely 
dilated towards the hinderangles; lateral border narrow, indistinctly 
toothed ; produced at the hinder angle into a flattened nearly rec- 
tangular plate, the apex of which is armed with one or two strong 
teeth ; interspaces between the costa deeply gemellate-punctate ; 
third interspace dilated for a short space, commencing just below 
its middle; the puncturing in that portion of the surface being 
less regularly placed; each elytron with five large fulvous patches 
placed as follows—one on the humeral margin; a second on the 
inner disc, just below the basilar space, common and forming with 
its fellow on the opposite elytron a large subcordate patch, from 
the upper and outer angle of which a narrow ramus passes upwards 
along the second costa to the base of the elytron, where it is dilated 
and forms a small spot; the third quadrate, placed on the outer 
disc, about its middle, attached to the lateral border, and extend- 
ing across the elytron as far as the first costa; the fourth, com- 
mencing at a point parallel with the lower edge of the third, is 
placed on the inner disc, common like the second, and extends 
downwards nearly to the apex of the elytron, its hinder half being 
outwardly dilated, and forming a transverse subapical fascia, 
abbreviated on the outer disc by the extreme edge of its dilated 
portion; it is confluent with the fifth patch, which is placed on the 
outer margin halfway between the middle and apex.
