according to the light, but not silky; scutellum scuti- 

 form; elytra a little broader than the prothorax, with 

 four silvery bands, the first basal, the second oblique, 

 ascending along the suture and joining the first, the third, 

 conjoined with its fellow, forming a nearly equilateral 

 triangle with its apex upwards, occupying nearly the 

 middle, the fourth band covering the apex, which is 

 truncate with the outer angle spinous ; legs and antenn39 

 black, slightly pubescent. 

 Length 6 lines. 



Stenaspidinj:. 



The two Malayan genera comprised in this rather large 

 subfamily, which, perhaps, would have been better named 

 Purpuricenince, after the well-known European form, are 

 closely allied in appearance and characters, but of the 

 three species the male of only one is known. The 

 greater part of the Stenaspidince are American, but 

 some Malayan species, not in the collection, are re- 

 ferable, according to M. Lacordaire, to Fhilagathes, 

 Thoms,, an African genus, hitherto represented by a 

 single species (P. Icetus, Thoms.) .
