in tlic hinder third. In /. f/rerjoriji, the tegmina are briglit red 

 at the base, and orange red over the rest of their surface, in 

 this respect differing from those of nigrocincta in which they 

 are of a pale yellowish tint passing to orange yellow at the 

 base. The black margin is also more distinct in the latter 

 form. In /. speciosa, the tegmina, except for a reddish border 

 running alongside the narrow black margin, an orange-yellow 

 spot alongside their scutellar edge, and one or two reddish 

 spots between this and the black transverse bar at the a]iex of 

 the clavLis, are entirely green or yellowish green; and the head, 

 pronotnm and scutellum are also green. /.. electa differs from 

 speciosa, which it otherwise very closely resembles, in having 

 the head, pronotnm, scutellum, and base of the tegmina, reddish 

 yellow. In both of these forms, the hind-wings are carmine 

 red at the base, whereas in j^atricia they are entirely milk-white, 

 and in nigrocincta and gregoryi are tinted, l)ut only to a slight 

 extent, with yellow at the base.
