clothed with short bristly hairs; testaceous, the prothorax 
rufescent, whitish along the basal margin, the elytra with 
three large whitish patches—one common, elongate, lanci- 
form, extending down the anterior half of the suture, and 
one, somewhat rounded, on the dise of each elytron beyond 
the middle—the two post-median spots enclosed by a pyri- 
form nigro-fuscous annulus which extends inward to the 
suture and narrowly and obliquely forward to the base in 
one specimen, the scutellum, metasternum, and abdomen 
slightly infuscate ; the head and prothorax almost smooth, 
the elytra closely, very finely punctured. Head a little 
narrower than the prothorax, the latter strongly transverse ; 
antenne subserrate, rather short; elytra moderately long. 
Length 24 mm.

Two females, found “on cotton.’ Smaller than the S. 
African E. exquisitus, Ab., amenulus, Boh., etc., the elytra 
each with a large, pyriform, blackish, post-median annulus, 
which is continued obliquely forward to the base in one 
specimen, so as to partly or entirely enclose three large 
whitish patches.

?. Elongate, rather narrow, widened posteriorly, shining, 
the elytra in great part opaque, clothed with fine pubescence 
intermixed with long, erect, blackish hairs ; the head, the four 
or five outer joints of the antenne, a median vitta on the 
prothorax (sometimes reduced to a spot at the apex), the 
scutellum, and metasternum black, the rest of the prothorax 
rufescent, with the lateral and basal margins yellowish-white, 
the antennal joints 1-6, the abdomen, and the legs wholly or 
in part (the intermediate and posterior femora, and some- 
times the tibiz also, often in part black or infuscate), testa- 
ceous ; the elytra with a common oblong or oval spot on the 
suture below the base, an oblong space on each side of it 
externally and a subapical patch running forward along the 
suture, whitish or flavous, the rest of their surface (a reddish 
space at the tip excepted) black; the head and prothorax 
almost smooth, the elytra closely, finely punctulate. Head 
narrower than the prothorax ; antenn rather short, mode- 
rately serrate. Prothorax broader than long, obliquely 
narrowed posteriorly. Elytra moderately long. 
dg. Antenne much longer, more sharply serrate ; anterior 
tarsal joint 2 produced over 3, nigro-pectinate at tip; elytra
