rupted band, and several longitudinal macules on the discoidal part ; 

 the scutellum has a lateral band of the same colour ; on the elytra, 

 this coating invades most of the surface, leaving, however, numerous 

 patches of the background bare ; the pygidium is partly or com- 

 pletely covered with the coating which forms on the abdominal 

 segments an upper macule, or a band; head aud clypeus deeply 

 and closely punctate, the former, and also the base of the clypeus, 

 are moderately densely hairy, the latter is somewhat ampliate 

 laterally, and deeply emarginate in the centre ; prothorax sparsely 

 punctulate ; scutellum impunctate, not very sharp at apex ; elytra 

 bi-costulate on each side, the dorsal intervals have each two weakly 

 bi-geminate striae somewhat indistinctly punctulate, and the suture 

 is very slightly acuminate at apex ; propygidium and pygidium 

 transversely plicate and briefly pubescent ; abdominal segments 

 sparingly punctate on the upper side; pectus scabrose punctate 

 and somewhat densely but moderately briefly pubescent ; legs 

 robust, anterior tibiae bi-dentate outwardly in both sexes, but 

 with a slight upper sinuation in the female in which the basal 

 tarsal joint of the hind legs is produced at apex in a long, apical 

 spine on the outer side. 



Length 11-13J mm. ; width 6J-7 mm.

Mentum parallel, truncate at apex with the angles not rounded ; 

 maxillae robust, inner lobe not densely pubescent inwardly and 

 armed with a strong hamate tooth ; upper lobe nearly glabrous on 

 the outer side, and produced into a broadly divergent, bifid, hamate 

 tooth ; last joint of palps slender, sub-cylindrical, truncate at tip ; 

 clypeus quadrate, slightly broader than long, truncate at apex with 

 the angles acute, the anterior margin is very slightly sinuate and 

 sharply reflexed ; antennae moderately long, the club not longer 

 than the pedicel in the $ ; prothorax attenuate, sinuate laterally in 

 the anterior part almost straight in the posterior with the hind 

 angles broadly rounded, strongly arcuate above the scutellum 

 which is long, sharply acuminate and broadly grooved laterally; 

 elytra moderately attenuate laterally behind, highly bi-costate on 

 each side and with two intervening costules, sparsely maculated 

 with white, and copiously hairy ; sternal process short, blunt, pro- 

 jecting slightly beyond the coxae ; anterior tibiae dentate at apex 

 only and hardly sinuate above it in the male, tri-dentate in the female;
