303 CEEAMBYCIDJE. 



raised, transverse, ivory-yellow band, which is smooth and some- 

 what angulate in front, sparsely punctured posteriorly, and reaches 

 neither to the suture nor to the outer margin. Head closely 

 punctate. Antennre a little longer than the body in the d" , shorter 

 in the $ ; first seven joints brownish red and glossy, the last four 

 dull brownish black, with a faint grey pubescence ; third to eighth 

 channelled above. Prothorax rounded, but scarcely protuberant, 

 at the sides, strongly constricted at the base and narrowed a 

 little in front ; its width across not greater than its length along 

 the middle ; the surface closely reticulately-punctate up to the 

 edge of the basal emargination. ScuteHurn densely covered with 

 white pubescence. Elytra moderately and not very thickly punc- 

 tured, sparsely covered with setigerous granules ; narrowed from 

 the base to the middle and slightly widened again posteriorly ; 

 each elytron subtruncately rounded and unarmed at the apex. 

 Body beneath yellowish brown, marked as in E. zona with spots 

 and patches of dense white pubescence. Legs reddish ; femora 

 punctate, the hind pair very closely so. 



Length 9-1 1 ; breadth 2j-3 mm.

Agrees generally in form and structure with Epipedocera, Chevr. ; 

 the following characters, however, serve to distinguish it from 

 that genus : Second joint of the antenna much longer than broad, 

 nearly half as long as the third ; mesonotum provided with a 

 stridulatory area ; elytra furnished each with a rather sharp lateral 

 carina, reaching nearly to the shoulder in front and to within a 

 variable distance of the apex posteriorly. 



The type species of this genus looks like a small Epipedocera and 

 was, in fact, included in that genus by Chevrolat, who thereby 

 clearly recognized its true affinities. It is remarkable, therefore, 

 that both by Thomson and Lacordaire it was placed in a group 

 widely separated from Epipedocera and its allies.
