The sides of the body above are blackish, varied with 

 tawny-brown and dark punctures ; the central ashy white 

 streak, which is confined to a broad vitta on the head and 

 thorax, forms on the elytra a figure resembling an elon- 

 gate mask, of which the two small black dots on the 

 anterior dilated portion represent the eyes, the larger 

 spots behind near the suture the nose, and the dark apex 

 of the elytra the mouth. 



The insect is of a much more elongate figure than the 

 other true Anisoceri, resembling in this respect much more 

 the genus Caciomorpha of Thomson ; but the dilated third 

 joint, and the very much abbreviated eleventh joint of 

 the antennae, bring the species within the definition of 

 AMisocerus.
