 anterior femora, the apex of the tibiae, and the tarsi and the posterior 

 femora black ; thorax closely punctured with three obscure fulvous 

 bands ; elytra with the shoulders, a spot at the apex, and a transverse 

 band near the latter fulvous. 



Length H line. 



Head deeply and very closely punctured, the sides of the neck, 

 lower part of the face, and palpi testaceous ; the first two joints of 

 the antennae stained with piceous above, the third and fourth joints 

 of equal length. Thorax rather long, the sides strongly produced 

 before the middle in a rounded protuberance, constricted imihedi- 

 ately below the latter ; surface closely punctured like the head and 

 covered with rather long fulvous hairs ; the sides, a longitudinal band 

 near the latter, and a much more obscure vitta on the disk fulvous 

 or testaceous. Scutellum thickly covere d with silky yellow pubes- 

 cence. Elytra convex and parallel, slightly depressed beliind the 

 middle, punctured like the thorax but the punctuation much more 

 distantly placed ; an elongate fulvous spot surrounds the shoulder, a 

 round spot is placed close to the apex at the sides, and a transverse 

 band of irregular shape at a little distance from the apex ; the tibiae 

 and tarsi are also closely covered with fulvous hairs ; a piceous spot 

 is placed on the middle of the four anterior femora, the posterior 

 ones, together with the apices of all the tibiae and the tarsi, being 

 entirely of that colour ; the first two abdominal segments have a 

 large fulvous spot at the sides, the rest are black.
