In general appearance strikingly resenililing- the pale form of Zocdia (/raci- 

 api's. but structurally close to the typical form of Hoiuoeiiiota (basulis): from 

 the latter S])ecies it difiers. apail frcjin colour, in ha\'ing the [frothorax longer, 

 thinner and less narrowed In the base, the •-trong elytral [lunctures continued 

 beyond the reversed W the latter also with punctures, and not elevated above the 

 surface, the sul)basal ele\ations near the suture very feeble ( they are less pro- 

 nounced than on any other species of the genus), and the legs somewhat longer. 

 The base of the elytra is somewhat paler than the prothorax. The pubescence 

 on the ajicx of the elytra, and on the scutelhim, is no denser than on the proiio- 

 lum, but being white is \ery conspicuous on the darker background. The 

 antennae are not spinose, but there appears to be a feeble remnant, invisible from 

 most directions, of an apical spur on the third joint. The finer sculpture of the

 tin-es are \ ery e\ident, but on the others the shagreening is rather coarse, and the 

 indi\idual i)unctures are scared}- exident ; on the first three also tliere are three 

 im])unctate slightly elevated longitudinal lines, of which the middle one connects 

 with similar but transverse lines at the base and apex, the sublateral lines are 

 slightly wider and commence at the base, but terminate at the apical thir<l : on the 

 two other specimens the lines are but \aguely indicated. ( )n each cKtroii coiu- 

 mencing near the shoulder at the base, there is a narrow, semi\itrcous, jiale line, 

 that extends almost to the middle: at its apex <:)n one sjjecimen it is connected 

 with a pale vitta that extends to the side, ])arallel with portion of the reversed \', 

 but there is no indication, or scarcely so, of the \itta on any of the others.

Plate ix, fig. 7. 



I '.lack, shining, appendages of a more or less dingy red, clvtra with a rather 

 narrow, submedian white fascia, touching si<les but not suture. Upper-smTace 

 with a few thin, scattered, upright hairs. 



//('(/(/ with crowded punctures in front, becoming sparser towards base, 

 b'ycs rather large and deeply notched, .\ntennae moderately long, not extending 

 to tips of elytra, first joint about as long as second and third combined, third 

 sliglitly longer than fourth, and shorter than fifth, the others gradually decreasing 

 in length, but eleventh slightly longer than tenth. Prothorax distinctly longer 

 than w iile. strcjiigly come.x, sides gently rounded, but towards base conspicuously 

 narroweil, densely longitudinally strigose, excej)! for a narrow space at apex, and 

 a wider one at liase. Snitclliiiii sni.all and ojiaque. Elytra at base much wider 

 than base of prothorax, parallel-sided to ne.ar ape.x, widely depressed at basal third, 

 :nid then con\e.x ; with a few small punctures. I'ctnora stout, pedunculate, hind 

 pair jiassing elytra for .about half iheii' lengtli. Length. 4-5 mm.
