 front, the latter marked between the lower lobes of the eyes 

 Avith two narrow, transverse, fuscous bands. Prothorax with

 tubercles on tlie disk, of which one, placed in the middle, is 

 much larger than the rest ; the disk covered with greyish or 

 tawny pubescence, and having between the median tubercle 

 and the base a dark brown mark resembling an inverted 

 letter Y. A dark brown band runs along each side of the 

 prothorax just below the lateral tubercle. The pubescence 

 covering the elytra is of a greyish or tawn-colour over the 

 whole of the anterior part of the disk and yellowish tawny 

 over the posterior part ; between these two ditferently coloured 

 parts there is an oblique fuscous band, shar|)ly limited in 

 front, and continued along the side of each elytron up to the 

 base. Behind the base of each elytron there is a short longi- 

 tudinal crest, while at the anterior border of the fuscous band 

 there are three or four small tufts of hair, a few similar tufts 

 being placed a little further back. The elytra are strongly 

 and closely punctured towards the base, especially at and 

 around the shoulders, and are somewhat broadly depressed 

 behind the basal crests. The legs and the underside are of a
