Nearly similar in shape and sculpture to the last species ; antennae 

 rather more robust, their apical half, and sometimes their whole 

 length, rufo-fulvous ; sides of thorax less produced, nearly straight 

 from their base to beyond the middle, central groove on the upper 

 surface more distinct ; elytra black, with an apical spot and several 

 others at the base and on the disc rufo-fulvous ; outer edge less 

 coarsely serrate ; inner carina less undulate.

Long. 2| lin. 



Very nearly allied to Q. orientalis, with which it exactly agrees in 

 the form and sculpturing of its thorax. It differs from that 

 species in the coloration of the thorax, and in the coarser and 

 more irregular punctation of the outer disc of the elytra. 

 Head smooth ; vertex behind and base of antennno piceous ; jaws
