At first sight this species bears a close resemblance to G. villosa 

 Jans., but its non pubescent upper surface and long mesosternal 

 process remove it to another section of the genus. From G. cruda 

 Jans., to which it appears most nearly allied, it is at once distin- 

 guished by its less elongate form, less produced pygidium, much 

 stronger punctuation, colour, and in having the base of the thorax 

 much less strongly emarginate, before the scutellum and the elytral 

 costae narrower, etc. 



A considérable séries of this species, exhibiting a great amount 

 of variation in colour and markings, were collected in July 1899 

 by Mr. A. V. Legros, after whom I hâve named it. In my collection 

 and the Brussels Muséum.
