producto. 

 Hub. — Batchian, Kaioa, Cerain, Coram, Ternate, Makian, 



Gilolo, (and Manilla.) 

 Black, nitid, varied with white, grey, or ashy, depending 

 on a very close-set pubescence, generally well limited, while 

 the black portions have a very short and scattered or almost ob- 

 solete pubescence ; on the vertex are three white lines which meet 

 in front, and these are continuous with three corresponding 

 lines on the prothorax ; scutellum semicircular, black or white, or 

 with a white border only ; elytra with irregular scattered punc- 

 tures, the shoulders granulate, the white parts varying in extent 

 or becoming grey, but always having a transverse direction ; the 

 normal style is perhaps based on two irregular white bands, thus 

 dividing the black into three portions, the bands nearly disappear- 

 ing or gradually extending so as to reduce the black to a few- 

 spots in many examples; body beneath with a thin pubescence, 

 grey or ashy, the abdominal segments with one or two light- 

 coloured spots on each side, which are sometimes obsolete; 

 legs with a grey or ashy pubescence ; antennae blackish, in the 

 males about half as long again as the body, sometimes ringed 

 with ashy. 



Length 8 — 14 lines.

 yellowish-grey ; scutellum with a greyish spot in the middle ; 

 elytra with scattered punctures almost hidden by the pubescence, 

 a few granules on the shoulders, base dark brown with a few 

 greyish spots, followed by a greyish sub-median band extending 

 forwards at the sides, spotted with brown, then a large brown 

 patch with a few greyish spots, and lastly greyish again with
