Very closely allied to the first species, but nevertheless, I think, 

 distinct. Above red ; antenna?, eyes, and sometimes also the sur- 

 face immediately aroimd these latter, the extreme lateral margin 

 of the thorax, a naiTow sutural line, and the extreme apex of the 

 elytra, black ; antenna? rather longer and more slender. Thorax 

 similar in form and sculpture, but Avithout the black central lon- 

 gitudinal line ; the elytra narroAver, less dilated on thcii- sides, and 

 more parallel ; interspaces between the costae impressed A\"ith two 

 regular rows of deep punctures, the intermediate interstices on the 

 sides and near the apex not distinctly elevated. Beneath shining 

 black ; the four anterior thighs beneath, the inner sui'face of the 

 anterior tibife and the breast, fulvous.
