head (except the front part of tlie clypeus), a broad median 

 stripe upon the proiiotum (sometimes absent), the scutelhim, 

 and four irregularly shaped spots upon each elytron, forming- 

 two transverse median bands, A bifid mark upon each side 

 of tlie base of the pygidium, the middle of the sternum, 

 transverse bands on the dorsal side of the abdomen, the hind 

 tibiae and all the tarsi are also usually dark, and the posterior 

 part of the elytra from the second transverse row of spots is 

 deeper in colour than the anterior part. 



The body is shortly ovate and rather depressed above. 

 The head is densely punctured, with the clypeus broad and 

 nearly straight in front. The pronotum is minutely, densely, 

 and evenly punctured, with the lateral margins strongly 

 angulated in the middle, nearly straiglit to the front angles 

 and gently incurved to the hind angles, all the angles being 

 nearly right angles. The base is well lobed and without a 

 marginal stria. Tiie scutellum is closely punctured and the 

 elytra are deeply and rather closely and regularly sulcate, 

 the second sulcus broken into irregular punctures at the base 

 and the interstices minutely and sparingly punctured, the fifth 

 having a linear row of punctures either throughout its length 

 or restricted to the basal part. The pygidium is finely 

 transversely strigose. There is only a very short pubes- 

 cence at the sides of the metasternum and the mesosternum 

 is not produced. The front tibia is strongly bidentate and 

 the longer claw of the front and middle feet is cleft. Tlie 

 club of the antenna is rather long. 



$ . The club of the antenna is very long, and the teeth 

 o£ the front tibia short and shaip. 



? , There is a slight dilatation of the outer margins of the 

 elytra at. the middle and the terminal tooth of the front tibi^, 

 is long and blunt. 



Length 10-12"5 mm.; breadth 6-7 mm.

Both in shape and coloration tliis is a very well.-mnrked 

 and peculiar insect. I have examined several femnles, buj 

 only a single male, in which specimen alone the prothorax 

 has a broad median dark band. It is not yet possible to 

 decide whether this represents a sexual feature or merely a 

 colour variety,
