head (except the front part of the clypeus), a broad median 

 stripe upon the pronotum (sometimes absent), the scutelhim, 

 and four irreguhirly shaped spots upon each elytron, forming 

 two transverse median bands. A bifid mark \\\)0n cacli side 

 of the base of the pygidium, the middle of the sternum, 

 transverse bands on tiie dorsal side of the abdomen, tiie hind 

 tibiae and all the tarsi are also usually dark, and the posterior 

 part of the elytra fi'om the second transverse row of spots is 

 deeper in colour than the anterior part, 



Tiie body is shortly ovate and rather depressed above. 

 The liead is densely punctured, with tlie clypeus broad and 

 nearly straiglit in front. The pronotum is minutely, densely, 

 and evenly punctured, with the lateral margins strongly 

 angulated in the middle, nearly straight to the front angles 

 and gently incurved to the iiind angles, all the angles being 

 nearly riglit angles. The base is well lobed and without a 

 marginal stria. The scutellum is closely punctured and the 

 elytra are deeply and rather closely and regularly sulcate, 

 the second sulcus broken into ii regular f)unctures at the base 

 and the interstices minutely and sparingly punctured, the fifth 

 having a linear row of punctures either throughout its lengrli 

 or restricted to the bapal jiart. The pygidium is finely 

 transversely strigose. There is only a very siiort pubes- 

 cence at the sides of the metasternum and tlie mesosteruum 

 is not produced. Tlie front tibia is strongly bidentate and 

 the longer claw of the front and middle feet is cleft. The 

 club of the antenna is rather long. 



^ . The club of the antenna is very long, and the teeth 

 of the front tibia short and shaip. 



? . There is a slight dilatation of the outer margins of the 

 elytra at the middle and the terminal tooth of the front tibia 

 is long and blunt. 



Length 10-12*5 mm.; breadth 6-7 mm.

Both in shape and coloration this is a very well-marked 

 and peculiar insect. I have examined several females, but 

 only a single male, in which specimen alone the prothorax 

 lias a broad median dark band. It is not yet possible to 

 decide whether this represents a sexual feature or merely a 

 colour variety.
