diamond ; these spots do not touch the lateral margins 

 till just at their lowest extremities where they bend out- 

 ward; united with the common spot on the suture, is a 

 band reaching both margins, and between this and the 

 apex is a spot shaped somewhat like the head of an an- 

 chor ; this touches the apex, but not the posterior margins, 

 and is connected along the suture with the band above it. 

 Underside and legs bronzy. 



Head deeply impressed between the eyes. Thorax not 

 quite twice as broad as long ; anterior margin straight, 

 half as long as the base ; sides much rounded in front, 

 posterior angles acute ; base very slightly sinuate ; disk 

 deeply punctured, with a faint smooth dorsal line. Ely- 

 tra striate and deeply punctate, the punctures becoming 

 larger and closer on the sides, three-quarters as long 

 again as broad, sinuate below the shoulders ; apex of each 

 bidentate. Underside and legs punctured, thickly clothed 

 with white hairs.

 and apex red, and three green-blue bands, a straight one 

 near the base widening slightly on the margin, the second 

 behind the middle, and the third midway between it and 

 the apex, limited on the sides by the red colour of the 

 margins ; the suture between the bands concolorous with 

 them. Underside brassy green.
