Reddish testaceous above ; elytra clothed with yellowish-tawny 

 pubescence, marked each with three tomentose black spots one at 

 the middle, one midway between the middle and the apex, the 

 third and largest also between the middle and the apex, but placed 

 a little nearer to the apex. Body beneath, with the exception 

 sometimes of the prosternum, black; marked with spots and 

 bands of white pubescence. Antennae and legs testaceous ; the 

 apical part of the hind femora and more or less of the hind tibiae 

 also dark brown ; the middle femora sometimes more or less 

 infuscate towards the apex. Head sparsely clothed with yellowish 

 pubescence. Antennae longer than the body in the male, a little 

 shorter than the body in the female ; joints third and fourth with 

 a very small inconspicuous spine at the hinder apical angle. 

 Prothorax closely granulate-punctate, faintly pubescent, marked 

 with a narrow white band at the base on each side ; the disc with 

 three very feeble obtuse ridges, which are slightly nitid and a little 

 more strongly punctate than the rest of the surface.

Testaceous red ; head sparsely pubescent ; prothorax slightly 

 suffused with dark brown at the sides, covered with tawny pubes- 

 cence, narrowly bordered with pale yellow at each side of the 

 base. Elytra covered with tawny-yellow pubescence, each marked 

 with three dark brown bands the first, placed at rather less than 

 a third from the base, runs somewhat transversely from near the 

 outer margin to the middle of the disc and then obliquely forwards 

 towards the suture ; the second, placed at the middle, takes a similar 

 course to the first but reaches the suture and extends along it in 

 front ; the third crosses straight from the outer margin to the 

 suture at about one-third from the apex ; the areas included between 

 these dark brown bands are of a somewhat brighter yellow colour 

 than are the apical and basal parts of the elytra. Body beneath 

 testaceous, faintly pubescent, with denser, yellowish- white spots 

 on the episterna of the meso- and metathorax and at the sides of 

 the first two abdominal segments. Antennas slightly longer than 

 the body in tf , third and fourth joints very minutely spined at 

 apex. Prothorax oblong-ovate. Elytra feebly quadridentate at
