Eather densely covered above with yellow pubescence, varied 

 with dark brown or almost black markings, distributed as 

 follows: three spots on the pronotum one median, bifurcated 

 posteriorly, and one, obliquely oval, on each side before the 

 middle ; two bands and a rounded spot on each elytron, the first 

 band somewhat elliptical in form, with its longer axis extending 

 from near the shoulder to the middle third ; the second band 

 transverse, submedian, curved forwards along the suture about 

 halfway to the base, expanded at its outer end into an oblique 

 spot which reaches to the elliptical band in front and is united 

 to it by a narrow point ; the round spot lies about midway between 

 the submedian band and the apex, and approaches more closely to 

 the outer margin than to the suture. Body beneath with a dense 

 whitish pubescence that covers almost the whole surface in the 

 c? , and forms more or less extensive spots at the sides in the $ ; 

 the first three or four joints reddish brown, the rest darker, all 

 faintly pubescent. Prothorax subglobose, as wide in the middle 

 as the base of the elytra ; marked with a fuscous spot on each side 

 near the base, in addition to the black spots on the disc. Elytra 

 truncate and quadridentate at the apex. Legs somewhat variable 

 in colour, usually reddish brown, with the hind femora, except 

 near the base, and the tibia? to some extent, blackish; middle 

 femora carinate on each side, the hind pair not c?.rinate.

300. Caloclytus Sagittarius, sp. n. 



Densely covered above with yellow pubescence, varied with dark 

 brown markings ; prothorax with a median band that reaches from 

 near the base to a little past the middle and there widens out 

 in two rounded lobes ; an arcuate band curves outwards from the 

 front end of the median band to the middle of each side, and there 

 joins an anterior spot; elytra each with (1) a short vitta that 

 begins near the base, passes backwards, and then curves outwards 

 and turns back towards the shoulder, so as to join there a small 

 subhumeral spot ; (2) a transverse median band, prolonged in a 

 triangle both at the suture and at the outer end ; and (3) a trans- 

 verse band near the apex, wider at the outer end and narrowed 

 slightly towards the suture. Antennae about three-fourths of 

 the length of the body, reddish brown, covered with greyish
