Hab. Assam: Patkai Hills {W. Doherly). 



There are two specimens, probably females, in the 

 British Museum. 



The species shows a nearer relationship to the European 

 and North American forms than to any other yet known 

 from the Oriental region. It has the characteristic four 

 spots upon the elytra, but these are of a very pale yellow 

 colour and the whole remaining upper surface is black, 

 slightly tinged with red upon the head and the front angles 

 of the pronotum. It is rather broad in form, with the 

 sides of the pronotum roughly punctured, the margins 

 straight and parallel behind, the elytra rather strongly 

 punctured, their outer edges a little flattened, their apices 

 rounded and not angulate and the antennae compact, 

 with a well-defined, rather oblong club.
