striction before and behind the tubercle and corresponding 

 grooves across the upper surface. Underside, prothorax, 

 and elytra clothed with a tawny pubescence, with small 

 scattered spots — some dark brown, others white in colour, the 

 latter being sometimes aggregated to form a large white 

 patch near the base. Legs tawny grey, with a fuscous spot 

 at the middle of each of the femora and tibiae. 



This species together with the two preceding form a 

 section in the genus characterized by a relatively rather 

 broad prothorax having an obtuse tubercle on eacli side.

Hah. Samburu, Brit. E. Africa (C. S. Bctton). 



Head with a pubescence which is greyish in front, and 

 more or less rusty red around the eyes, on the crown, and on 

 the sides. Prothorax broader than long, slightly rounded in 

 the middle on each side ; its pubescence grey mixed with 

 brown, and with the anterior margin and a few spots on the 

 disk rusty red. Elytra with a mixed grey and light brown 

 pubescence, with some tawny patches at the base, and a well- 

 marked white and tawny area at the apex ; each with three 

 dark brown bands: the first, which is the least distinct, at a 

 short distance from the base, the second at the middle, the 

 third forming an anterior border to the pale posterior area. 

 Legs and underside grey ; the abdomen with some dark brown 

 and rusty-red patches. Seen through the pubescence, the 

 derm of the legs is yellowish testaceous, except at the clubs 

 of the femora, where it is black. Joints of the antennas 

 from the third dark brown at the apex.
