tures becoming sparser posteriorly and disappearing near the 

 apex. Each elytron has six silvery-grey spots, of which two 

 are in the same transverse line at a short distance behind the 

 base, the third is just in front of the middle and is placed 

 transversely, with its inner extremity rather close to the 

 suture ; the fourth and fifth are smaller and more remote from 

 the suture, the fourth just behind the middle, the fifth about 

 midway between this and the apex ; the sixth is at the apex, 

 and from its inner edge a narrow sutural vitta passes forwards 

 for about half the length of the elytron. The body under- 

 neath and legs are greyish, with the anterior portion of each 

 of the metathoracic episterna, an anterior band on each of 

 the first four abdominal segments, and the whole of the 

 fifth segment so faintly pubescent as to appear black and 

 subnitid.

Olivaceous green ; a central elongate spot at base of headj 

 lateral margins, a central fascia (not extending beyond centre), 

 and a narrow transverse fascia on anterior area of pronotum, 

 five small basal spots and an obscure posterior central fascia 

 to scutellum, lateral margins, apex, and the whole inner area 

 of corium castaneous. Membrane very dark castaneous, its 

 apex paler. Body beneath and legs ochraceous ; lateral 

 margins of head, sternum, and abdomen somewhat broadly 

 olivaceous green ; sternum with transverse spots of the same 

 colour and with two large black spots between the anterior 

 and intermediate coxge. Intermediate and posterior femora 

 spotted with castaneous, posterior tibiae with the base and 

 apex castaneous. Anterior legs, intermediate tibice, and the 

 antennce mutilated. Abdomen beneath with a central black
