 sparsely punctured, basal half coriaceous with a fine carina, 

 which terminates in a pitlike depression between the eyes. Ver- 

 tex of head finely punctured. Prothorax very closely and uni- 

 formly granulate. A creamy white band, interrupted in the 

 middle, near the anterior, margin; another along the posterior 

 margin. Elytra striate-punctate, well pronounced and finely 

 rugose. A sutural band from the base, running for a short 

 distance posterior to the scutellum; it then forks and proceeds 

 obliquely to the middle of each lateral margin. A transverse 

 band at the apical third of the elytra becomes confluent at each 

 lateral margin with the former. A narrow V-shaped stripe in 

 the apical triangle of each elytron, one branch being subsutural, 

 the other submarginal. Underside more or less covered with 

 creamy white scales, especially the prothorax, also the meso- 

 and metathorax and abdominal segments laterally. Legs glossy,

 round spot laterally at the anterior margin, another larger spot

 Each elytron with five very large, roundish whitish spots, ar-
