tlip lowtT orbits on tlio, outoi' side widely, vcllou'. Face 

 atroiiply punctured all over, tlic clypeu.s witli the punctures 

 larger and more widtdy separated, and sparsely covered witii 

 long fuscous hair; the sides of the clypeus broadly rounded ; 

 the a|)ex in the middle projecting into a stout blunt tooth. 

 Thorax black ; the edge of the pronotuin from near the base 

 to the teguhe (the yellow narrowed in the middle), the tegiihe, 

 two lines in the middle on the inner side of the middle lobe, 

 the broad scutellar keels, the sides of the scutclluin broadly, 

 the apex more narrowly, the postscutellum, a large mark 

 behind the mctathoracic stigmas (extending on their outer 

 side to their apices, on the inner not much beyond their base), 

 the base in the middle, then continued down the outer sides 

 of the posterior area, at the apex broadly dilated laterally, and 

 at the base on the outer side continued backwards into the 

 spiracular area, the prosternum, the base of the mesosternum, 

 the mesopleurai on the lower side, and the sides of the meso- 

 sternum (more broadly on the apical half and the apex of the 

 mctapleurai), yellow. The base of the mesonotum closely 

 j)unetured; the apex with the jHinctures larger and more 

 widely separated ; the parapsidal furrows are only indicated 

 at the base. The scutellar depression is wide and deep; the 

 scutellum flat, the black central part bearing large deep punc- 

 tures, which are sparser at its base ; the de[)ression at its side 

 and at the sides of the postscutellum stoutly striolated ; the 

 postscutellum smooth, glabrous, the sides at the base deeply 

 depressed. The basal half of the median segment coarsely 

 and deeply punctured ; in the centre at the base is an hour- 

 glass-shaped area, which is continued down the middle to 

 the posterior median area ; its sides are depressed in the centre 

 at the base and transversely striated ; the posterior median 

 area is conical at the base, ami is stoutly transversely 

 striated throughout ; the outer aiul the tooth- bearing areje 

 distinct, as is also the spiracular. The apex of the j)ropleurge 

 coarsely punctured, the base finely obliquely striated, the 

 middle smooth and shining. j\Iesopleuraj punctured, except 

 in the middle behind, under the tubercles and at the apex 

 crenulated. Metapleura; coarsely punctured, the upper part 

 and the apex of the s[)iracular ixwx obliqucdy striated. The 

 furrow in the middle of the mesosternum is wide and deei) 

 and is stoutly crenulated throughout. The four anterior legs 

 are fulvous, the coxje and trochanters pallid yellow ; the 

 hinder legs of a deeper red, the co\x black, yellow at the apex 

 above ; the base of tiie basal joint of the trochanters, tiieapex 

 of the femora broadly, the base of the tibia^, narrowlv, and 

 their apex more broailly than the femora, black ; the tarsi
