colouring ; the prothorax has a broad black median line wanting in 

 G.suturiger, the white dorsal vitae of the elytra are more defined, 

 and the sutural band is not acuminated posteriorly. In some 

 examples the cinnamon-coloured interval between the outer margin 

 and the discoidal vitta is rufous black.

G. vittigero certe affinis ; ab Mo prcecipue differt vittis dorsalibus 

 elytrorum angustioribus vittaque discoidali breviore.

Shape of preceding species but covered with a reddish-brown 

 pubescence, the pre-sutural vitta on each elytron, as well as the 

 discoidal one are very narrow, the latter does not reach the apex and 

 is thus disconnected posteriorly from the margin. 



I have only seen two examples of this species, and they may 

 perhaps be only a variety of G. vittiger. 



21. G. deceptor. spec. nov. 



G. vittigero affinis, ab Mo differt vestitudine grisea, prothorace in 

 medio hand vittato elytrisque vittis quatuor angustis albidis in singulo 

 ornatis. 



Long. 10, Lat. o mm \ 



Shorter than the two preceding species but nearly coloured alike, 

 deceptor is differentiated from vittiger by the colouring of the pro- 

 thorax and of the elytra ; in the former there is no trace of a median 

 black line and the discoidal part is rufous-brown, the sutural band of 

 the elytra is not so broad and is slightly narrowed in the median part, 

 the white lines are broader and four in number on each wing-cover : 

 the one bordering on the suture is as broad as the discoidal one, the 

 premarginal one narrower and the marginal as broad as the presutural ; 

 in fact it may be said that the white pubescence has invaded the pale- 

 cinnamoneous background to such an extent as to make it doubtful if 

 the later is really the background. The shape of the elytra which are 

 sub-quadrate will, however, help to differentiate this species from the 

 'proceeding one.
