 of the post-scutellum and a line on the apex of the first 

 and second abdominal segments, lemon-yellow. Pro- 

 pleurae shining, impunctate, deeply obliquely excavated ; 

 there is a short longitudinal furrow in the centre of the

 being piceous towards the apex. Thorax coarsely punc- 

 tured, more sparsely in the middle of the mesonotum, 

 and still more sparsely on the scutellum ; the parapsidal 

 grooves are deep, wide, and run from base to apex. The 

 propleurae are coarsely irregularly obliquely striolated, on
