Stigmodera punctato-striata. (Plate IX. fig. 15.) 



Capite et thorace ra-idibus ; elytris fortiter punctato-striatis, latericeis, 

 maculis tribus utrinque nigris ; subtus pedesque virides. 



Head and thorax green. Elytra croceous, each with three black spots, 

 one small one, on the shoulders, a larger in-egularly shaped one about 

 the middle, and a transverse oval one between it and the apex, which 

 is also margined with the same colour. Beneath, legs, and antennae 

 green ; sides of abdomen spotted with j-ellow. 



Head punctured, depressed between the eyes, and furrowed on the vertex. 

 Thorax once and three-quarters as wide as long ; anterior margin 

 nearly straight, a little more than half as long as the base ; sides 

 slightly rounded ; posterior angles acute ; base with a shallow lobe ; 

 disk slightly punctured, with a faint dorsal line, met at the base by 

 a few punctures; punctures on the sides much deeper, especially 

 near the posterior angles, which are slightly depressed ; a deeply 

 impressed line runs parallel to the anterior margin, so as to give 

 it a raised appearance. Elytra twice as long as wide, very deeply 

 and largely punctate-striate ; sides sinuate above the middle ; apex 

 rounded. Beneath and legs deeply punctured, punctuation of the 

 centre of abdomen much finer.
