Coleopterous Family Cleridse. 97 



The pattern of the elytra of this species it is ahnost impossible 

 to describe ; the basal half or rather more is of a dirty reddish 

 colour, beyond which is an irregular dark fascia more or less in- 

 tersected by the sericeous pile which clothes the apical third, 

 which is, however, relieved by fuscous spots. Of the two 

 specimens which I refer to this species, one has the femora and 

 tibioe all ringed with fuscous, while the other has the front and 

 hind pair only spotted, the middle ones quite clear, the tibiae with 

 a ring only shewing above distinctly. The antennre are shorter 

 than the head and thorax, and are not setose, they have joint 

 11 eipial to joints 8, 9, 10, which are triangular acuminate 

 internally.

Oh>>. I have a third specimen, from New Guinea, which I 

 refer with doubt to the same species, it is smaller than either, and 

 has the legs entirely yellow.
