DEMOXAX. 285 



narro\v, black or dark brown, oblique bands somewhat in the form 

 of an elongated letter V which extend from near the middle almost 

 up to the base ; a transverse band that crosses the suture just 

 behind the scutellum unites the front end of the inner band with 

 the corresponding baud on the other elytron ; at a short distance 

 behind the middle there is a transverse or crescentic black spot 

 from each end of which a short narrow vitta is directed forwards, 

 the inner one obliquely towards the suture, the outer one along 

 the side ; between this transverse spot and the apex there is another 

 black spot, which is obliquely oval in form. Antennae testaceous, 

 a little longer than the body in the d 1 , shorter in the $ ; third, 

 fourth and fifth joints with a short spine at the apex ; sixth also 

 spined, but feebly so. Femora more or less brownish, rather densely 

 covered with yellowish-grey pubescence ; the tibiaa testaceous, less 

 densely pubescent. 



Length 9-11 1 ; breadth 2| mm.

Black ; head and prothorax faintly covered with greyish pubes- 

 cence, prothorax with a narrow white border on each side at the 

 basal margin, the disc with a nude spot on each side before the 

 middle ; scutellum white ; elytra deep black, somewhat velvety, 

 marked each with an oblique spot and two bands of white pubes- 

 cence, the spot placed near the suture at about one-fifth from the 

 base ; the first band very narrow, crosses a little obliquely before 

 the middle and is continued forward for some distance along the 

 suture ; the second band broader, is placed at about one-fifth from 

 the apex. Body beneath black ; the prosternum, mesosteruum, an 

 oblique spot on each of the mesothoracic episterna, an elongate 

 spot on each of the metathoracic episterna, an oblique band on each 

 side of the metasternum and the first two abdominal segments 

 more or less completely covered with ashy-white pubescence, the 

 rest less densely covered with dark grey pubescence. Antenna? 

 about equal in length to the body in the $ , very slightly longer 

 in the <S ; sixth to ninth joints covered with ashy-grey pubescence : 

 third and fourth spined at the apex, the spines short. Prothorax 

 oblong-ovate, nearly as wide in the middle as the base of the 

 elytra, densely rugulose-punctate. Elytra very little more than 

 twice as long as the prothorax, truncate and unarmed at the apex. 

 Middle and front femora glabrous, strongly punctured and asperate 

 posteriorly, pubescent and less strongly punctured in front. 

 Hind femora extend past the apex of the elytra by a fifth or 

 fourth of their length in the $ , and by nearly a third of their
