rugulose appearance replaces the regular radiating lines and curves 

 seen in the type and in the var. megaspilus. The present variety 

 was regarded by White as the tetraspilotus of Hope, and the true 

 tetraspilotug he described as a distinct species under the name of 

 quadrimaculatus. It does not differ in size from the typical 

 form.

Var. macrospilus, nov. 



Resembles the type in form, colour and sculpture, but differs 

 in that each of the four spots on the elytra is elongate-elliptical 

 in form with its longer axis longitudinal, nearly equidistant from 

 the suture and the outer inargin, and the two posterior spots are 

 more than twice as long as they are broad.

Metallic green ; the elytra with two rather narrow, transverse, 

 yellow bands placed at about one-fourth from the base and the 

 other about one-third from the apex, the parts of the elytra that 

 border on the bands violaceous black. In structural characters, 

 and in the sculpture of the head, prothorax and elytra, it agrees 

 closely with P. tetraspilotus, Hope, of which it may perhaps be 

 only an extreme variety in which the spots are replaced by 

 complete bands ; these bands are, however, directly transverse 

 rather than oblique. From P. bizonatits, White, which it 

 resembles more in the banding of the elytra, it may be readily 

 distinguished by the regular radiating striae on the disc of the 

 prothorax, and the glossy rugose area at the base of the elytra 

 that surrounds the scutellum and extends a short way back along 

 the suture. 



Length 21-22 ; breadth 4f-5 mm.

Metallic green ; with the antennae (the first joint of which is 

 green, excepted), the tibiae and tarsi black ; elytra with two 

 transverse yellow bands one, somewhat narrower, placed a little 

 before the middle, the other, broader, behind the middle ; the 

 bands sometimes united by a narrow strip at the lateral margins. 

 Head densely rugulose-punctate and nitid, sometimes with a brassy 

 tint. Antennas slightly thickened between the middle and the 

 apex, a little shorter than the body in the $ , as long as the 

 body in the <S ; first joint densely rugulose-punctate ; seventh 

 to tenth slightly angulate anteriorly at the apex. Prothorax with
