295 

 smaller than central spots. Scutellum dark orange to black. 



Each elytron laterally margined in black; black epipleural 



fold with brown base/ subhumeral spot elongate, connected to 



base; scutellar spot large, rounded, broadly connected to 



base and suture; suture completely margined with black; 



central band not reaching lateral margin; apical spot free. 



Venter orange, sclerites with black margins. Appendages 



black; palpi and base of antennae brown; tarsi reddish. 



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 1 to 2 diameters; 

 epistome puncture size = 0.5 x facet, nearly coalescing. 

 Antenna reaching basal 0.25 of pronotum; antennomere III as 

 long as next 3 antennomere combined; antennomeres IX to XI 

 symmetrical; antennomere X wider than antennomere IX, 

 slightly wider than antennomere XI; antennomere XI circular 

 (Fig. 6m) . 



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 x width. Labial 

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

 7a). Mentum with plate triangular, length = 0.75 x width, 

 apical sides straight (similar to Fig. 8a), ridge medial 

 extension acute, projecting. 



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

 3 diameters; denser laterally, separated by 1 diameter.
