2 mutilated specimens. 



I have great pleasure In dedicating this handsome species 

 to the intrepid collector Mr. Rosenberg. 



It is quite distinct from any other described species of the 

 genus. I have omitted the forceps from the description, as 

 already given in detail in the Latin diagnosis. 



I have one specimen, with half the abdomen missing, of a 

 reddish variety, in which the head is entirely red, the pro- 

 notum almost entirely so, with one black spot, and the 

 abdomen is red.
