Long. Corp. 0-'J-l*0 mm. 



Minute, oval, the front margin of the thorax forming an 

 elliptical curve narrowing sliglitly in front, sides of the elytra 

 gradually curved, reaching their widest point a little before 

 the middle ; very shining, absolutely impunctate, and 

 glabrous above. Colour: thorax unicolorous reddish yellow, 

 rather paler at the front margin ; scutellum in most examples 

 reddish yellow, in some darker; elytra pitchy black, diluter 

 at the apices ; in some s))ecimens practically unicolorous, but 

 in most there is near the suture just behind the middle a 

 paler area, which, thongh very indistinct in some, in other 

 cases forms a suffused transverse pale fascia; metasternum 

 pitchy black, underside of thorax yellowish testaceous, of 

 abdomen reddish ; head, anteniife, and legs yellow, clubs 

 of the antennae not darkened. Eiytra with lateral margins 

 narrowly reflexed throughout most of their length from the 

 shoulder, these margins visible from above immediately 

 behind the shouhler and again in the posterior half, but 

 scarcely visible (or invisible) for a short space just before 

 the middle; sutural stria |)resent, extending forwards a little 

 beyond the middle. Winys apparently ample, but not 

 dissected out. Metasternum quite smooth, glabrous, and 

 impunctate in the middle, with scanty very short pubescence 

 at the sides; uhdouien with longer yellowish jjubescence.
