length from the base ; the second band is narrow, transverse, 

 median, with a spot-like dilatation at the suture and another at 

 the outer end, which is slightly removed from the margin ; the 

 third band, also narrow and transverse, is placed a little nearer to 

 the apex than to the median band. Antennae about half as long 

 as the body, blackish, with a grey pubescence. Prothorax longer 

 than broad, strongly rounded at the sides, not quite so wide in 

 the middle as the base of the elytra. Elytra truncate at the apex, 

 feebly dentate at the angles. Body beneath greyish pubescent 

 along the middle, more densely pubescent and whitish at the sides. 

 Legs black, with greyish pubescence ; middle and hind femora 

 carinate on each side, the hind pair feebly so.

Densely covered above with ochreous-yellow pubescence, varied 

 with black markings disposed on each elytron as follows : a short 

 dorsal vitta that begins near the base and is curved outwards at 

 its posterior end ; a humeral spot that extends to the basal margin 

 and a marginal spot just below and behind the shoulder ; a spot 

 at the middle of each side, from which a transverse band extends 

 to the suture and bends obliquely forwards just before reaching it ; 

 lastly a large rounded spot between the median band and the 

 apex. Antennae half as long as the body, black, covered with 

 cinereous-grey pubescence. Prothorax oblong-ovate, not so wide 

 as the base of the elytra. Elytra feebly dentate at the truncate 

 apex. Body beneath with a yellowish-white pubescence that 

 covers most of the surface. Legs black with greyish pubescence ; 

 middle femora carinate on each side, the hind pair more

Head and prothorax red, clothed with short, sparse, fulvous- 

 yellow pubescence, the head sometimes (var. russicollis) blackish ; 

 elytra densely covered with yellow pubescence, varied with black 

 markings, disposed on each as follows: a curved band that 

 begins at the shoulder, runs back a short distance and then curves 

 round so as to extend forward on the disc not quite up to the 

 base ; a transverse band at the middle, prolonged anteriorly in a 

 narrow triangle both at the suture and at the outer margin ; a
