Long. S"5 mm. 



Uab. Ceylon. 



Coppery-red, with tlie legs, pygidinm, and underside 

 black or obscurely metallic, the antennse pule yellow, and the 

 elytra orange-red with about eight minute black spots on each, 

 one of them near the shoulder and the rest forming two 

 transverse lines. 



The size and form are almost those of tlie last spaci^s. 

 The head is flat and finely transverso-ly rugose, slightly 

 produced and recurved at the apex, with the clypeal suture 

 feebly carinated and an impression near the middle of the 

 })Osterior margin, which is slightly toothed. Tiie prothorax 

 is very globose and finely granulated, with a slight imj)ression 

 in front and one on each sidj of the postevi )r lobe, the hind 

 margin of which is very obtusely angular. The sides are 

 strongly curved and the posterior angles rounded otf. The 

 elytra are finely striated and minutely rugosely punctured, 

 with an almost imperceptible yellow pubescence. The 

 pygidium and undersidi are closely and tleeply punctured 

 and the sides of the body are clothed with yellow hairs. 



Specimens have been found by Mr. K. E. Green and 

 Col. J. W. Yerbury. I have found no e>cternal sexual 

 characters.
