We received this with the preceding. It is principally 

 distinguished by the red arched ridge of the scutellum, on 

 each side of which there is a longitudinal wavy line, nearly 

 in the form of an S, which towards the end is interrupted, 

 and then terminates in a short straight line. The dilated 

 sides of the scutellum are white. There is also a faint 

 white spot on the posterior thighs.

1 HIS was also sent us by the Rev. Mr. Kirby. It is one 

 of that order in which the scutellum is arched and very 

 much elevated. The body is black. Antennae fulvous, 

 black at the end. Scutellum the length of the body. Dorsal 

 carina obscurely clouded with white. The margin of the 

 scutellum towards the end is pale. Legs pale at the base. 

 Posterior thighs with an irregular whitish sdoc.
