and the walls often form a transverse strigillation ; the sides have a 

 moderately broad, light fulvous band running from the ampliate part 

 to the base, and there is a spot of the same colour in the basal 

 impressions ; scutellum strigillate, punctate ; elytra with a light 

 fulvescent margin beginning below the lateral emargination, sending 

 two short spurs on the deflexed side, and reaching the suture, on the 

 dorsal part there is a short, transverse orange-coloured band situated 

 slightly before the median part, and a sub-quadrate patch of the 

 same colour above the apical callus, the suture, the base, the costate 

 part and also the space separating the two supra-lateral impressions 

 are distantly punctate, the impressions are longitudinally and the 

 deflexed part transversely strigillate, the punctures in the posterior 

 part are very briefly pubescent ; pygidium broadly maculated with 

 light fulvescent on each side and pubescent ; abdomen black ; legs 

 and sides of pectus hairy, the hairs squamulose ; anterior tibiae 

 sharply bi-dentate in the male, more bluntly so in the female.

Black, shiny ; anterior margin of clypeus reflexed into a plain 

 median tooth ; head and clypeus closely punctate, almost glabrous ; 

 prothorax ampliate laterally near the median part, slightly attenuated 

 thence towards the basal angle, covered with round punctures sepa- 

 rated by a space equal to their own diameter, there is a moderately 

 broad, white marginal band which does not quite reach the humeral 

 angle, and a white spot on each supra-basal impression ; scutellum 

 strigillate and cicatricose punctate ; elytra each with a median, 

 juxta-sutural ovate white spot, and a similar but more irregular one 

 at the apex, a broader humeral one in the humeral impression, and 

 a more or less broad marginal band beginning below the lateral 

 sinuation and sending two transverse streaks or spurs, one below 

 the median part, the other above the posterior, and reaching only 

 the middle of the disk ; the space between the suture and the first 

 geminate stria is finely, the alternate one more broadly punctate, and 

 slightly remote like the others on the dorsal part ; pygidium deeply 

 punctate and with two white patches often coalescing on each side ; 

 sides of abdomen with a long white band ; metasternum white
