19. O-ynanclroplxtlialiTia pictipennis , n. sp. 



Ovate, convex, fulvous, the base of the head and the terminal 

 joints of the antennae, black; thorax impunctate, with four 

 black spots; elytra closely and irregularly punctured, flavous 

 or fulvous , a sinuate transverse band at the base , another 

 below the middle and the apical and lateral margin posteriorly, 

 black. 



Length 2 lines. 



Of rather short and broadly ovate shape, the head black, the 

 clypeus fulvous, the interocular space with a few very minute 

 punctures, the antennae not extending to the base of the tho- 

 rax, black, the lower four joints fulvous ; thorax strongly trans- 

 verse, the sides rounded, the posterior margin straight at the 

 sides, scarcely produced at the middle and nearly straight at 

 that place , the surface entirely impunctate , fulvous with four 

 black spots placed transversely of which the intermediate ones 

 are generally larger and of triangular shape ; scutellum piceous 

 or black, its apex truncate ; elytra rather strongly and irregu- 

 larly punctured the punctures gradually diminishing and entirely 

 obsolete at the apex, a narrow transverse band, rather deeply 

 sinuate at its lower margin, placed at the base and extending 

 to either margin, another band nearly divided at its middle and 

 placed immediately below the middle of the elytra and connected 

 with the similarly coloured lateral and apical margin, black; 

 underside fulvous more or less marked with black and thickly 

 pubescent, legs fulvous, the apices of the tibiae and the tarsi 

 more or less fuscous. 



Garin Gheba, Palon. 



The black markings in this species vary greatly, in some 

 specimens the two middle spots of the thorax are joined and 

 form a short transverse band, the elytral band at the base does 

 not extend to the suture and the second band is of regular 

 sliape and connected not only with the lateral stripe but also 

 at the posterior portion of the suture which is black as well ;
