.222 CEBAMBYCIDJE. 



densely rugulose-punctate above, transversely rugulose near front 

 margin, usually more or less smooth at the sides ; prosternum of 

 c? with a very finely and densely punctulate area that crosses it 

 in front of the coxae, this area rounded and very definitely limited 

 at each side. Elytra finely and very densely punctulate ; broadly 

 rounded at the apex. Femora densely punctate, the hind pair 

 much shorter than the abdomen. Sixth abdominal segment of 

 the J very short and sometimes almost invisible, its hind border 

 almost transversely truncate and shortly fringed with hairs; the 

 fifth segment slightly sinuate at the apex. 



Variation. There is a good deal of variation in the size and 

 shape of the postmedian spot of the elytra ; one or two small 

 yellow spots are sometimes present on the anterior part of each 

 elytron. 



Length 9-17 ; breadth lf-3 mm.

249. Annbis fimbriatus, Sates, Cist. Ent. ii, p. 412 (1879). 



This species is very closely allied to A. bipustulatus, Thorns. ; it 

 agrees completely with it in structural character and in the 

 sculpture of the various parts. The only difference observable is 

 in the markings of the elytra, which take the form of two trans- 

 verse yellow or fulvous bands, more or less interrupted at the 

 suture ; the posterior band occupies the same position on each 

 elytron as the posterior spot in bipustulatus, and the anterior band 

 replaces the one or two small spots sometimes seen in the latter 

 species. The parts of the elytra bordering on the bands are dark 

 violaceous in colour. The species has been found in the same 

 localities as bipustulatus, and must be regarded as doubtfully 

 distinct.
