Linear, thorax and elytra closely covered with round punc- 

 tures forming narrow reticulated interstices. Clear pale yellow, 

 with an irregular spot on the disk of the thorax, a belt across 

 the middle and apex of the elytra, and a square spot on the 

 shoulder black. The antennae (male) are nearly as long as 

 the body and considerably thickened towards the apex, the 

 third to fifth joints are linear ; the colour is black, with the 

 base of fourth to tenth joints and first to fourth joints beneath 

 pale testaceous. Beneath there is a broad stripe on each 

 side of the metasternum and across the abdomen, black. The 

 legs have a streak on the upperside of the femoral clav£e, the 

 apex of the tibiae and the tarsi black ; the hind legs are not elon- 

 gated ; all the femora are clavate, the anterior and middle pair 

 more abruptly so than the posterior. The el^'tra are moderately 

 narrowed from a little behind the base, and are thence parallel 

 to the apex ; they are not dehiscent at the suture ; and the ex- 

 ternal angle of the apical truncature has a longish spine. 



A variety occm-s in which the middle and apical black fasciae 

 of the elytra and the humeral spots are united, and the head 

 and whole apical half of the abdomen is black.

I have nothing to add to the definition of this genus given 

 by Lacordaire, except that I think it better to exclude every 

 species which has not a vitreous surface to the elytra. This
