The upper side of the head is fulvous, coloured and very glossy ; 

 the concave anterior portion strongly punctate and sparingly clothed 

 with luteous seta;; the hind part smooth in the middle, punctate 

 at the sides ; the front and side margins have a slender edging of 

 black, and the tips of the two points on the forehead are also black. 

 Antennae black ; club dark chesnut ; epistoma fulvous. Under- 

 side of the head, with the mouth, pitchy black ; palpi dark ches- 

 nut. Pronotum rich fulvous, with a slender black margin ; disc 

 glossy, with very minute punctures, most numerous towards the 

 anterior angles : near these angles the dark margin is slightly ex- 

 tended into the disk, and there are also two small dusky transverse 

 narks near the hinder margin. Scutellum orange-coloured, flat, 

 glossy and nearly impunctate. Elytra pale huffish yellow, outer 

 margin rich brown, with a narrow black suture and a black sub- 

 marginal line extending to the humeral angles, which are entirely 

 black ; disc finely punctured, the punctures forming a line on each 

 near the suture, and four lines on the disc, leaving two interme- 

 diate spaces smooth ; the intervening spaces with the punctures 

 irregular. Pygidium densely punctate, dark chesnut. Body be- 

 neath black, with fine fulvous hairs ; sternal mucro rich fulvous, 

 as well as the exposed portions of the scapulae and of the hind 

 coxae ; femora also rich orange, with the extreme tip black. 

 Tibiae and tarsi black, terminal joints of the latter broadly fulvous 

 at the base. Abdomen rich chesnut, less strongly punctate than 

 the metasternum. 



The Entomological Society of London is indebted for the unique 

 specimen of the female of this insect to Mrs. Hamilton, who has 

 very liberally enriched the Society's Collection with great num- 

 bers of fine insects from India. It is to be hoped that we may 

 shortly receive the male from the same quarter.
