  Mr. 
  G. 
  R. 
  Waterhouse's 
  Descriptions 
  of 
  

  

  striae 
  of 
  tlie 
  elytra 
  they 
  are 
  aggregated 
  in 
  little 
  patches. 
  Each 
  of 
  

   the 
  large 
  punctures 
  of 
  the 
  striae 
  encloses 
  a 
  s'lale 
  of 
  larger 
  size 
  

   and 
  paler 
  colour. 
  On 
  the 
  second 
  interstice 
  is 
  a 
  distinct 
  tubercle 
  

   not 
  far 
  from 
  the 
  scutellum, 
  and 
  in 
  the 
  middle 
  of 
  the 
  back 
  the 
  

   same 
  interstice 
  is 
  raised 
  into 
  a 
  crest, 
  which 
  terminates 
  at 
  the 
  

   commencement 
  of 
  the 
  posterior 
  third 
  of 
  the 
  elytra, 
  and 
  crossing 
  

   this 
  crest 
  in 
  an 
  oblique 
  manner 
  is 
  a 
  small 
  dirty 
  white 
  mark 
  ; 
  it 
  

   extends 
  from 
  the 
  first 
  to 
  the 
  third 
  striae. 
  The 
  fourth 
  interstice 
  

   presents 
  three 
  or 
  four 
  tubercles 
  on 
  the 
  basal 
  half; 
  they, 
  however, 
  

   are 
  but 
  little 
  raised. 
  The 
  form 
  of 
  the 
  elytra 
  at 
  the 
  base 
  is 
  rather 
  

   peculiar 
  : 
  at 
  this 
  part 
  they 
  are 
  fully 
  one-fourth 
  broader 
  than 
  the 
  

   thorax, 
  and 
  immediately 
  opposite 
  the 
  base 
  of 
  that 
  segment 
  they 
  

   are 
  suddenly 
  cut 
  in 
  to 
  admit 
  the 
  thorax, 
  so 
  that 
  a 
  projecting 
  

   angle 
  is 
  formed 
  on 
  either 
  side, 
  and 
  from 
  this 
  angle 
  the 
  outline 
  of 
  

   the 
  elytra 
  runs 
  outwards 
  a 
  short 
  distance, 
  and 
  very 
  little 
  back- 
  

   wards, 
  to 
  join 
  the 
  outline 
  of 
  the 
  sides, 
  so 
  as 
  to 
  form 
  an 
  obtuse 
  

   angle: 
  the 
  sides 
  of 
  the 
  elytra 
  are 
  at 
  first 
  parallel, 
  but 
  behind 
  the 
  

   middle 
  they 
  gradually 
  converge 
  towards 
  the 
  apex, 
  which 
  is 
  much 
  

   contracted. 
  The 
  keel 
  on 
  the 
  thorax 
  is 
  considerably 
  raised 
  on 
  the 
  

   fore 
  part, 
  but 
  it 
  vanishes 
  near 
  the 
  posterior 
  margin. 
  The 
  basal 
  

   joint 
  of 
  the 
  long 
  and 
  slender 
  tarsi 
  is 
  about 
  equal 
  in 
  length 
  to 
  the 
  

   other 
  three 
  joints 
  taken 
  together 
  ; 
  the 
  spongy 
  substance 
  beneath 
  

   the 
  joints 
  is 
  almost 
  white.
