stripes of the proiiotiim, tlip humeral spot of tlie elytra, the more elongate prothorax 

 and elytra, etc. 



The head bears a white lateral stripe above and below, the dorsal stripes being 

 interrupted anteriorly between the eyes. The median stripe of the pronotum extends 

 from near the apical margin to the carina and is narrowest iu the centre ; the side 

 stripes are elongate bean-shaped, being shorter than the median stripe and narrow- 

 ing somewhat posteriorly. The band of the elytra is broad at the sutnre, where it 

 is produced forward to near the scutellum, its edges being sinuous ; at the fourth 

 line of punctures it occupies rather more than one-third the length of the elytra ; in 

 the black apical area there is a subapical transverse spot on each elytrum, and half- 

 way between it and the band a sublateral dot. The pygidium has a triangular spot 

 on each side. The prosterunm bears a broad interrupted lateral stripe and in the 

 central portion sparse white pubescence. The mesosternite has a lateral spot which 

 occupies the whole epimerum and part of the episternum, also entering upon the 

 episternum of the metathorax ; moreover, there is in front of this spot a detached 

 round one. The metasternum is sparsely jiuljescent white, the episternum and 

 lateral portion of the sternum remaining black. The abdomen likewise bears white 

 pubescence, which is condensed into sharply defined bands at the side.s. The 

 femora bear a black patch ; the bases of tarsal segments 1, 2 and 4 are white.

One ? from Tondano, Minahassa, North (Celebes, vii.-viii. 1899, which is a 

 new record for this species. 



A series from Senggoro, Res. Pasoeroean, Java (A. Roller) and .South Java, 

 1500 ft. (H. Fruhstorfer). 



The species does not seem to have split up into geographical races. The 

 specimens vary retmirkably in size, our largest example measuring 28 mm. in total 

 length, and the smallest 12 mm.
