tundatis, granulis nigris nitidis numerosis instructis, ad latera plaga 

 oblonga nivea ornatis. 

 Hab. Western Australia (Perth) {Mr. Duboulay). 



Cylindrical, ferruginous, covered with a close short ashy pile spotted with 

 fulvous; head rather broad and flattish in front, the pubescence 

 ochraceous, especially round the eye, the median line black and well 

 marked ; prothorax cylindrical, with transverse interrupted lines of 

 fulvous ; scutellum rather large, subscutiform ; elytra elongate, with 

 nearly parallel sides, the apex rounded, a few black granules at the 

 base, and several smaller ones along the suture, but more ferruginous, 

 a snowy oblong patch on the external margin, the rest of the elytra 

 with numerous small fulvous spots on an ashy ground ; body beneath 

 with a long ashy pubescence ; the edges of the abdominal segments 

 and spots on the sides of the sterna fulvous ; legs with a whitish pu- 

 bescence, spotted and clouded with fulvous ; antennae ferruginous, 

 slightly pubescent, spotted with white. Length 9 lines. 

 A very distinct species, witli longer and more parallel elytra 

 than any other that I am acquainted with, and remarkable for the 

 uniform distribution of its colours, with the exception of the snowy 

 patch along the side.
