Ichnea vitticollis, n. sp. 



7. suturali. King, affinis, nigra subopaca, crebre 

 punctata capite flavo, nigro-trinotato, thorace linea me- 

 diana, scutello, sutura, antennarum articulo ultimo, pedi- 

 busque flavis, his tarsis anticis fuscis. 



Long. 3^ lin. 



This species ap])ears very near to suturalis, King, the 

 chief points of difference being that the apical joint only 

 of the antennae is white ; the sides of the thorax are not 

 yellow, nor are the elyti-a margined with the same colour, 

 the suture only (and that not at the apex) being yellow ; 

 the fi'ont tarsi alone are darker than the legs.
