Head and prothorax black ; sides and front of the head 

 and two posteriorly converging vittai on the vertex ashy 

 white. Prothorax with a median dorsal white vitta, and two 

 white vittEe on each side, of which one runs alongside the 

 coxa, the second being closely approximated to it and uniting 

 with it at the front and hind border. Scutellum white. 

 Elytra brownish testaceous in the anterior two thirds of their 

 length, on which area each elytron is marked in the male type 

 with four small and very indistinct white spots ; tiiree of 

 these spots appear as if forming part of a broken mid-dorsal 

 band, the hindmost of the three being placed at about the 

 middle of the length of the elytron; the fourth lies external 

 to the middle one of these three and is close to the lateral 

 carina. The two spots on the posterior part of each elytron 

 are very distinct ; one is close to the lateral carina at the 

 beginning of the posterior third, the other just in front of the 

 apex, and the area between them is of a dark brown colour. 

 Apex of elytron with distinct spine at the outer angle. 

 Underside of body covered with an ashy white ])ubescence. 

 Legs and antenna; testaceous. Anterior claw of the anterior 

 and middle tarsi toothed at the base, the other claws simple. 



The characters given above apply to the male type. A 

 female specimen from Mungphu in iSikkim probably belongs 

 to the same species. Apart from the ordinary sexual differ- 

 ences, the only differences 1 find are as follows : —
