 reaches the hind edge of sides of pronotum, limited above 

 by the lateral carinae, which are white, but crossing this 

 posteriorly and filling the triangular space on top of pro- 

 notum, made by the divergence of the carinae at the 

 posterior border ; sides of pronotum below the band 

 brownish ; wing-covers green, with a medial band of equi-

 a few irregularly scattered smaller black spots ; sometimes 

 the inner halves of the wing-covers are entirely of a rust-red 

 color ; legs yellowish brown ; the hind femora sometimes
