Amyot & Serville's description does not agree with Donovan's 

 figure and appears to me to belong to the following species received 

 from Madras. * Yellowish greenish-testaceous, punctured coarsely and 

 densely above : lateral angles of pronotum produced in short subacute 

 spines black, and the line between them more or less black : scutellura 

 black, with a broad ovate transverse reddish ochraceous spot in the mid- 

 dle : apex of corium with a black linear C-shaped spot, open towards the 

 external margin ; membrane transparent, nearly the colour of the heme- 

 lytra : disc and apex of the abdomen black, reddish towards the sides 

 and on the genitalia ; the lateral limbus pale greenish-testaceous : 

 beneath paler yellow-greenish with a reddish tinge on the disc of the 

 basal half of the venter : feet pale greenish-yellow : antennae dull och- 

 reous-testaceous. Long 8j ; oxp. ang. pron. 4 mill.
