body densely pubescent yellow-buff; markings of iipperside the same colour : occipital 

 border to eyes ; three straight vittae on pronotum : scutellum ; on each elytrum 

 a line from base to beyond middle, begianing at scutellum and ending in second 

 interstice, a kind of band composed of single sliort lines situated between slioulder 

 and middle of subsutural line, a line running from lateral margin before middle 

 obliquely to second interstice, continued in this interstice backwards to near apex of 

 wing and joining here a lateral line which extends forward as far as apex of second 

 abdominal segment, being curved upwards at frontal end, the whole line resembling 

 the fignre 6 ; basal and lateral hnmeral edge of wing also yellow-buff. 



Kostrum with three dorsal carinae, which are heavy in basal hnlf, the lateral 

 ones vanishing in ajiical half of rostrum, the mesial one obsolescent from middle 

 to apex. Eye slightly longer than broad. Frons in c? anteriorly about the width 

 of the tirst anteunal segment, in ? half as broad again. Prothorax conical, 

 broader than long, minutely punctured above, practically smooth, with a trans- 

 verse antemedian sulcus ; dorsal carina slightly biconvex, being concave in middle, 

 lateral angle completely rounded. Elytra short, gradually narrowed from shoulder,

 dispersed large punctures laterally ; no distinct transverse antemedian sulcus ; 

 a mesial vitta narrowed in front and again before carina clayish, a small discal dot 

 and traces of lateral spots grey ; elytra less coarsely punctate in the stripes than 

 they are in paviei, an indistinct basal patch behind scutellum and a more distinct 

 and larger one behind middle huffish grey, common to both elytra, behind the second

 transverse sulcus of pronotum much less impressed, the lateral angle of the pro- 

 notal carina less rounded, the lateral dots minute, while the mesial sjiot liefore the 

 scutellum and the one before the carina are conspicuous ; subbasal patch of elytra 

 grey like the thoracical dots, not clayish as in se/latu.% wider behind and extended 

 frontad at the suture, reaching scutellum, the transverse portion interrupted or 

 constricted ; tibiae with grey antemedian ring ; first segment of abdomen of S
