pubescent band, reaching from a little below the subhumeral patch 

 to the apex. Length 38-43 mm. ; width 13-15 mm. 



Hah. Cape Colony (Carnarvon, Beaufort West, Kimberley, 

 Ovampoland) .

Shape and size of omoplata, but a little narrower ; sculpture of 

 head and prothorax identical ; elytra faintly punctato-striate, with 

 the intervals somewhat convex from the base to about the median 

 part, and with very faint punctures, supra-marginal patch as in 

 omoplata, but the subhumeral ovate patch reduced to a mere dot, 

 sometimes divided in two at the base of the sixth interval. Length

 the sixth and seventh intervals, the outer one of which is often 

 reduced to a rudiment. 



Although very closely allied to the preceding variety, intcmpcstira,
