Mas, occipite carinula V simulante impressa pone carinulam fossu- 
latam ; antennis acute serratis. 
Femina, antennis brevioribus subserratis ; fronte plana. 
Head black in the male, except the mouth and portion in 
front of the eyes; in the female only the base behind the eyes 
black ; antennz yellow, becoming slightly fuscous at the tip. 
Thorax with the front margin straight, the sides and base 
rounded in one uniform curve, the margin very narrowly 
reflexed, with a black obconic vitta, with its vertex on the 
base in the male (in the female this is only represented by an 
indefinite line), impressed with a wide and rather irregular 
fossa in front, which in the female is very indefinite. The 
elytra are rather broad, evenly rounded at the apex, and with 
no difference in the sexes, except that in the male they do not 
cover the last three segments of the abdomen, each with two 
blue-black spots, the basal one tregular on the apical side 
and occupying the whole base, the subapical one is large and 
squarish, but yet rounded on its apical side. The breast is 
black, but the abdomen and head beneath are red. The 
apical segments of the abdomen in the female in the middle, 
the extreme apex in the male, are black above. ‘The legs are 
yellow, but the posterior pair are black, with only the 
trochanters and knees pale. 
‘Two specimens. 
This pretty Anthocomus is coloured something like Attalus 
ridens here described ; the absence of the overlapping joint of 
the tarsus in the male will prevent its being taken for a 
member of that genus.
