 elongate.

 front ; the disc rather convex, impunctate, 



with the exception of a few punctures in front of the scutellum, 

 the anterior margin with a fringe of long fulvous hairs. Scutellum 

 broad. Elytra flavous, shining, impunctate, scarcely lobed below 

 the shoulders, covering the pygidium ; the posterior black band 

 broad, its posterior margin concave leaving the apex in shape of 

 a rounded flavous spot, anterior edge of the band irregularly 

 notched.

On account of the elongate tarsi, pubescent legs and elytral 

 epipleurae, this species cannot remain in Clytra and must find its 

 place in the present genus. Duvivier had probably only female 

 specimens before him, in which the tarsi are less elongate. The 

 variety minor is less than half the size and the entire posterior 

 portion of the elytra is black. The pubescence on the epipleurae 

 can only be seen in perfect specimens, as it is not unfrequently 

 rubbed off.
