In the example described a is a somewhat kidney-shaped 
whitish-testaceous mark on each elytron, its convex side directed 
outward, its lobes nearly reaching the suture, its front a little in 
front of the middle of the length of the elytra, its hind extremity 
not very far from the apex of the elytra; in another example 
only the two lobes of this mark are present, as two isolated spots 
on each elytron, in another it is altogether wanting, and the elytra 
are uniformly black ; all the examples have the prothorax of a 
very pale testaceous colour, with a large black mark projecting for- 
ward over more than half the length and width, like a hood 
thrown forward from the black elytra over the prothorax ; in one 
of them, however, the black colouring becomes a little pitchy or 
brownish in the front of the elytra and on the prothorax.

semblance.
