segment parallel-sided, a broad deep channel along the middle-

Black ; elytra nitid, each marked with five yellow spots two- 

 somewhat oblong near the base, one dorsal the other lateral, the 

 third obliquely transverse, reaching from the lateral .edge almost 

 to the suture at about one-fourth from the base, the fourth trans- 

 verse placed just behind the middle also reaching from lateral edge 

 almost to the suture, the fifth close to the suture at about one-fifth 

 from the apex ; antenna? of $ longer than the body by one joint 

 or so, ninth and tenth joints pale fulvous. Head somewhat 

 elongated in front, the antennal supports approximate, placed near 

 the inner and front margin of the eyes ; front with a triangular 

 smooth area in the middle, punctate at the sides ; vertex densely 

 punctate ; neck densely punctate at sides, less densely above. Pro- 

 thorax longer than broad, strongly constricted between the middle 

 and apex, transversely rugose above except near the base, where 

 it is densely punctulate. Elytra much broader at base than the 

 base of the prothorax, gradually narrowed posteriorly, truncate at 

 the apex, each with a strong spine at the outer angle and short 

 tooth at suture ; surface sparsely and not strongly punctured, the 

 punctures each with a short seta. Body beneath with patches of 

 silky-grey pubescence.

Head and prothorax testaceous red ; elytra yellowish testaceous, 

 a transverse black band at the apex ; metathorax, first three 

 abdominal segments, tarsi and apices of tibiae black ; rest of the 

 underside and legs testaceous. Head minutely punctulate, very 

 faintly covered with short golden-yellow pubescence. Antennae 

 inserted between and contiguous to the eyes, filiform, slightly 

 longer than the body in the $ ; first three or four joints testa- 

 ceous, the rest brownish black. Prothorax nearly as wide at the 

 base as the base of the elytra, the hind angles acute ; the upper 

 surface nitid arid almost impunctate. Elytra a little dilated 

 posteriorly, attaining their greatest breadth at about one-fourth of 

 their length from the apex, the latter broadly truncate ; upper 

 surface subnitid, distinctly and rather densely punctured, the 

 punctures each with a short grey hair. Front coxa? almost con- 

 tiguous, the intercoxal process very narrow. Tarsi of hind legs
