 2 large free spots. Scutellum orange with dark posterior 



edge. Each elytron with orange epipleural fold, edges 



black; scutellar and subhumeral spots fused forming one 



large bilobed spot; scutellar spot broadly connected to 



base, not connected to suture; suture with black margin; 



central marking large, triangular, connected to suture 



throughout its length, nearly reaching lateral margin and 



apical angle. Venter dark orange, edges of sclerites black. 



Femur orange with black apical quarter; tibia black; tarsi 



orange; palpi brown. 



Head dorsal distance between eyes = 3 x eye width; 

 ocular striae reaching base of antenna; vertex puncture size 

 = 0.5 x facet, separated by 2 to 3 diameters; epistome 

 puncture size = 0.5 x facet, separated by 1 to 2 diameters. 

 Antenna reaching basal 0.25 of pronotum; segments narrowed; 

 antennomere III as long as next 3 antennomere combined; 

 antennomeres IX to X triangular, narrowed, length = width; 

 antennomeres IX to XI symmetrical (similar to Fig. 6k) ; 

 antennomere XI squared, length = width, sides flattened, 

 parallel . 



Maxillary palp terminal segment triangular, securiform, 

 basally rounded, apical angles nearly 90°, length = 0.66 x 

 width. Labial palp terminal segment elongate, extended on 

 medial side, rounded basally, length = 0.75 width. Labial 

 palp width = 0.5 x maxillary palp width (similar to Fig. 

 7a) . Mentum with plate triangular, length = 0.7 x width,
