Black ; head and prothorax densely covered with grey pubes- 

 cence, the prothorax with two more or less widely separated nude 

 black spots above. Elytra black or dark brown, somewhat velvety, 

 broadly banded with ashy-grey or yellowish-grey pubescence ; the 

 first grey band basal, curved and continued backwards some dis- 

 tance on each side of the disc ; the second band narrowly triangular 

 with its apex almost touching thescutellum, its base continued on 

 each side as a short transverse band from which an anterior branch 

 is given off ; the third is a broad band placed for the greater part 

 behind the middle with its front margin more or less rounded ; 

 the fourth a broad apical band. Body beneath covered with 

 pubescence chiefly of a grey colour, but more or less whitish on 

 the middle of the prosternum and mesosternum, on the episterna 

 of the meso- and metathorax and on the second abdominal seg- 

 ment. Antenna? shorter than the body in both sexes ; third and 

 fourth joints strongly spined at the apex, the fifth with a very 

 feeble spine. Prothorax broadly ovate or subglobular, as wide in 

 the middle as the base of the elytra, reticulate-punctate. Elytra 

 about two and a half times as long as the prothorax, dentate at 

 the outer angles of the apex. Hind femora extended by a fourth 

 of their length past the apex of the elytra in the $ . First joint 

 of the hind tarsi about twice as long as the next two joints united. 



Length 8-12 ; breadth 2-3 mm.

Head, antennae, prothorax, body beneath and legs covered with 

 ashy-grey pubescence, the episterna of the meso- and metathorax 

 densely covered with whitish pubescence. Elytra marked with 

 differently coloured bands of pubescence ; the first band, placed at 

 the base, is ashy grey and encloses an obliquely elongated black 

 spot ; the second band is black, narrow and strongly oblique ; the 

 third greyish tawny, somewhat triangular in form, placed just 

 behind the middle ; the fourth transverse, tawny brown in colour ; 

 the fifth is a rather broad, transverse, apical band of a greyish- 

 tawny colour like the second. The antennae do not extend beyond
