36 SECOND YARKAND MISSION. 



side the middle with a faint transverse groove. Scutellum trigonate. Elytra broader than 

 the thorax, dilated behind the middle, moderately convex, deeply punctured, the punctures 

 piceous, arranged without order over the general surface, placed in ill-defined longitudinal 

 striae near the base of the suture ; on the anterior disc are several short ill-defined obsoletely 

 raised vittae ; at the base of each elytron, close to the suture, is a small nigro-aeneous patch. 

 Last two segments of abdomen bordered with fulvous. 



In the specimen from Murree, the sides of the thorax are less dilated anteriorly, the 

 anterior angles being less produced and at the same time more acute ; the transverse depres- 

 sions on the middle disc are also obsolete ; in this specimen the antennae are unfortunately 

 broken, but the fourth and fifth joints (which remain) are slightly compressed, and are rather 

 more robust than in the insect from Northern India ; it is probably the other sex. 



Hab. Murree ; in my own collection from Northern India.
