  densely 
  scaly 
  ; 
  elytra 
  with 
  a 
  very 
  faint, 
  dorsal, 
  longitudinal, 
  

   raised 
  line, 
  and 
  having 
  on 
  each 
  side 
  a 
  juxta-sutural 
  band 
  of 
  white 
  scales, 
  

   and 
  a 
  much 
  shorter 
  one 
  along 
  the 
  humeral 
  callus 
  ; 
  the 
  edge 
  of 
  the 
  

   propygidium 
  is 
  scaly, 
  the 
  pygidium 
  is 
  clothed 
  with 
  not 
  closely 
  set, 
  

   appressed 
  greyish, 
  squamose 
  hairs, 
  but 
  the 
  abdomen 
  and 
  the 
  whole 
  

   pectus 
  are 
  covered 
  with 
  large, 
  conspicuous, 
  silver-white 
  scales 
  ; 
  legs 
  

   with 
  squamose 
  whitish 
  appressed 
  hairs, 
  hind 
  legs 
  slender, 
  simple, 
  hind 
  

   tibiae 
  without 
  apical 
  spur. 
  

  

  Differs 
  from 
  G. 
  lineolata 
  in 
  the 
  shape 
  of 
  the 
  clypeus, 
  and 
  the 
  

   bands

  Burmeister 
  places 
  this 
  species 
  next 
  to 
  Gymnoloma 
  lineolata. 
  I 
  

   have 
  not 
  been 
  able 
  to 
  identify 
  it, 
  nor 
  have 
  I 
  seen 
  the 
  co-type, 
  but 
  

   judging 
  from 
  his 
  description, 
  which 
  I 
  repeat 
  here, 
  it 
  is 
  quite 
  possible 
  

   that 
  it 
  should 
  be 
  included 
  in 
  the 
  genus 
  Gouna.

   two

  projecting 
  from 
  the 
  black 
  base 
  to 
  the

  scutellum 
  scaly 
  ; 
  elytra 
  with 
  

   four 
  longitudinal 
  white 
  bands, 
  the 
  two 
  near 
  the 
  suture 
  broader 
  and 
  

   longer 
  than 
  the 
  other 
  two 
  which 
  are 
  narrower 
  and 
  shorter, 
  between 
  

   the 
  two 
  juxta-sutural
