 vertex white; prothorax nearly quadrate, scarcely wider than tho 

 hi'iiil, white, with two black stripes on each side ; scutellum transverse, 

 rounded behind ; elytra rather short, a large trilobed patch common to 

 both at tho base, an irregular band at tbo middle, and two others at the 

 apex, which are more or less connected, white ; legs black, tho tibia) 

 obscurely ringed with white in the middle, tarsi with the two basal joints 

 white ; antenmo hairy beneath to the fourth joint, the fifth very slightly

 of the fourth white ; sterna white ; abdomen black beneath. Length 

 G lines. 



This, so far as the proportions between tho two colours are con-

 ante, p. 130).
