Subject to considerable variation in size, the elytral spots some- 

 times quite obsolete or just visible without a lens, and only in 

 well-preserved specimens.

Closely covered with grey hairs ; antennae, labrum and legs 

 fulvous ; two transverse bands behind the middle on the elytra 

 and some spots, denuded of hairs, fuscous. 



Head closely covered with grey adpressed pubescence ; clypeus 

 fulvous, shining, transverse, separated from the face by a deep 

 groove, anterior border deeply emarginate in the middle ; antennae 

 long and filiform, apical three or four joints piceous, third and 

 fourth elongate, equal, terminal joints much shorter. Thorax trans- 

 verse, twice as broad as long, sides slightly rounded, margined at 

 the base only, surface pubescent like the head, a faint whitish stripe 

 in the middle. Scutelluin with similar pubescence. Elytra wider 

 at the base than the thorax, subcylindrical, punctures in closely 

 approximate rows ; the smooth spaces form two transverse macular 

 bands, between which on each elytron a fuscous spot of irregular 

 shape is apparent. Posterior femora very strongly incrassate, with 

 a large tooth, the other femora less strongly thickened and more 

 feebly dentate. 



Length 3^-^ mm.

I find it necessary to change both the generic and specific 

 names of this species on account of the original name having

Obscure fuscous, clothed with grey scales : basal joints of 

 antenna? and base of tibiae fulvous ; thorax witli indistinct grey 

 bands ; elytra piceous, shoulders within and the sides obscure 

 fulvous. 



Head covered with grey scales, sides obscure fulvous, middle 

 piceous, or the head entirely of this colour ; clypeus fulvous, not 

 separated from the face, transverse, finely and closely punctured ; 

 labrum also fulvous ; antennae extending to middle of elytra, 

 second joint small, third and fourth equal, terminal joints 

 shorter. Thorax about half as broad again as long, lateral 

 margins obsolete, surface closely covered with grey scales which 

 form sometimes more or less distinct longitudinal stripes, punc- 

 turation very fine and close. Scutellum closely pubescent. Elytra 

 rather more distinctly punctured than the thorax, punctures 

 arranged in extremely close rows, a sutural patch at base and the
