26 SECOND YARKAND MISSION. 



margin of clypeus concave-emarginate. Thorax rather more than twice as broad as long ; 

 sides rounded, converging from behind the middle to the apex ; the anterior angles obtuse, the 

 hinder ones rounded ; disc transversely convex, shining, impunctate, excavated on either side 

 near the lateral margin. Scutellum trigonate, piceous. Elytra scarcely broader than the 

 thorax, parallel, very finely punctured ; the black markings on their surface extend from the 

 base nearly to the middle of the disc, and again from the middle itself nearly to the apex, 

 leaving only an irregular flavous transverse band across the middle, which sends a narrow 

 ramus along the suture nearly to the base.

Long. 331 lin. 



Head clothed with long, erect hairs, minutely punctured ; clypeus not separated from the 

 face, its anterior margin angulate-emarginate ; apex of jaws black ; antennae equal in length 

 to the head and thorax, the basal joint thickened, pyriform, the second also thickened, short, 

 nodose, the third small, not longer than the second, the fourth trigonate, scarcely longer than 

 the third, the rest to the apex dilated, the fifth to the ninth transversely trigonate, the tenth 

 and eleventh ovate ; eyes large, oval, notched on the inner margin. Thorax nearly three times 

 as broad as long ; sides obtusely rounded, slightly converging in front, the hinder angles 

 rounded, the anterior ones very obtuse ; basal margin sinuate on either side the median lobe, 

 the latter slightly reflexed, very obtusely rounded ; upper surface transversely convex, remotely 

 and very minutely punctured, a concave transverse space on and immediately in front of the 

 basal lobe, coarsely and closely punctured. Scutellum longer than broad, subtrigonate, its 

 apex obtuse. Elytra scarcely broader than the thorax at the base, slightly dilated posteriorly, 

 convex, rather distantly and finely punctured. Body beneath and legs clothed with long, 

 erect fulvous hairs. 



I possess two specimens of this species, both labelled India, but without precise locality ; 

 in one of them the head is more coarsely punctured and subrugose, in all other respects it 

 agrees with the type.
