 Scutellum orange, often with black edges. Each elytron with 



orange epipleural fold; subhumeral spot connected to base, 



broadly or narrowly connected to large scutellar spot, 



occasionally reaching lateral edge; scutellar spot broadly 



connected to base and suture; suture can have black margin; 



central markings vary in shape and size, from free spot to 



complete band connected to medial and lateral edges (see 



Variation below) . Venter orange with black sutural margins. 



Appendages black; palpi and tarsi brown. 



Head dorsal distance between eyes = 2.5 x eye width; 

 ocular striae reaching anterior angle of eye; vertex 

 puncture size = 1 x facet, separated by 2 diameters; 

 epistome puncture size = 0.75 x facet, nearly coalescing. 

 Antenna reaching base of pronotum; antennomere III as long 

 as next 3 antennomere combined; antennomeres IX to XI 

 symmetrical; antennomere XI subcircular, narrower than 

 antennomere X (similar to Fig. 61) . 



Maxillary palp terminal segment triangular, sides 

 rounded, angles nearly 90°, length = 0.5 x width. Labial 

 palp terminal segment triangular, extended medially, sides 

 rounded, angles nearly 90°, length = 0.8 width. Labial palp 

 width = 0.5 x maxillary palp width (similar to Fig. 7o) . 

 Mentum with plate broadly triangular, length = 0.5 x width, 

 sides concave (similar to Fig. 8h) ; medial extension short, 

 rounded, projecting. 



Pronotal disc puncture size = 1 x facet, separated by 2 

 to 3 diameters; laterally separated by 1 to 2 diameters.
