coloured patch of pile, the lateral extremity of which is connected 

 with a smaller longitudinal patch of the same colour. The elytra 

 are swollen and obovate, not constricted behind the shoulders. 

 They are glossy and of a black colour, but tinged with blue and 

 purple, especially at the sides and towards the apex. Each bears 

 a large lunale humeral and three other white spots, rounded or 

 ovate at the base, and beyond the middle a narrow transverse 

 and slightly waved fulvous fascia, dilated and bent backwards at 

 each end ; another oblong hastate spot runs parallel to the suture, 

 and a curved one near the outer apex ; these three last-mentioned 

 markings form an irregular oval space, within which is a smaller 

 oval fulvous spot, and the apex is powdered with fulvous scales. 

 The prosternum is clothed with dirty white hairs, and the pro- 

 meso- and meta-epimera, as well as the sides of the abdominal 

 segments, except the last, are clothed with large patches of 

 fulvous pile. The last abdominal segment has two large lateral 

 patches of dirty white pile. It is naked in the middle, which is 

 marked with a longitudinal impression.

The elongated form of this species, with the prothorax destitute 

 of lateral tubercles, the subcylindrical elytra and the dark colour 

 of the insect, destitute of any spots or other markings, will at 

 once distinguish it from others of the group. The head is of 

 moderate size, the mandibles robust, the face marked with a 

 slightly raised central line, extending to the level of the base of 

 the antennae ; the antennae moderately short, the third joint rather 

 longer than the first and fourth, the fifth and following short and 

 gradually decreasing to the tips. The prothorax is subquadrate, 

 slightly narrowed across its front margin, and with a fine con- 

 striction or impressed line in front of the posterior margin ; the 

 disc, except down the centre, is punctured, the punctures near the 

 sides being strongest and occasionally running transversely 

 together. The elytra are subcylindrical, elongated and regularly 

 rounded at the extremities ; they are black and glossy, with a 

 slight aeneous tinge, especially towards the base, which is much 

 more strongly punctured than any other part of the body; beyond 

 the middle of these organs, towards the outer margin, and also
