 darker shade on the middle of the elytra ; this band some- 

 what fuscous on its anterior and posterior borders, where also 

 may be seen a few minute white spots ; with a few fuscous 

 and one or two linear white spots on the posterior part of the

 punctures ; prothorax witli three small tubercles on the disk 

 and witli one or two small fuscous spots towards the sides in

 of the punctures. Elytra sparsely setigerously punctured, 

 with the punctures somewhat asperate towards the base and 

 becoming very feeble posteriorly. Body underneath and legs

Head and prothorax black, densely punctured. Elytra 

 densely and rather strongly punctured on the basal two thirds, 

 very sparsely and feebly on the apical third ; reddish ferru- 

 ginous and impubescent on the basal third ; followed by 

 transverse bands of white and black, of which the first is 

 rather narrow, whitish towards the sides and greyish towards 

 the suture ; the second is a broad, opaque, black band, arcu- 

 ate posteriorly, and with its front margin produced into three 

 angles — one median sutural and one towards each side ; this 

 band is followed by a narrow white band, bowed forwards 

 and placed just before the beginning of the apical third ; the 

 latter is black and subnitid, with a large pubescent and some- 

 what triangular white spot occupying the middle of it just 

 before the apex. The underside of the meso- and metathorax 

 and the basal segment of the abdomen are reddish ferrugi- 

 nous and sparsely punctured ; the latter is bordered poste- 

 riorly with white, the rest of the abdomen behind it is black 

 and shiny. From nearly all parts of the body as well as 

 from the legs and antenna? long fine hairs are given off. 

 Antennas with the scape subcylindrical and shorter than the
