I think, from slight differences in the form of the abdo- 
men, that I have both sexes of this species before me, but I 
do not find any sexual characters in the clypeus or tarsi. This 
insect is near incf-rtu.^, Blackb, from which it differs, inter 
al'i((, by the considerably less coarse puncturation of its elytra, 
its non-canaliculate pronotum, and its front tarsi mucli shor- 
ter than those of either sex of incertiis.

A very distinct species by the structural characters indi- 
cated in the tabulation ; also by its colouring, which is a uni- 
form bright red, except the black of the head, prothorax, and 
sterna. It is one of the prettiest of the J./parefri. I think 
the unique type to be a female.
