(besides the zones of white pubescence) numerous small white 
pubescent spots sprinkled over the whole surface. On the whole 
I incline to think this specimen the female of a species distinct 
from that of which the male is described above. 
An example from Port Darwin agrees with the above descrip- 
tion of the male except in its smaller size (Long. 3$ l), and in 
the pale pubescence of its elytra being of a distinctly ochreous 
ne.

The prevailing pubescence of the upper surface is of a pale 
testaceous brown colour; on this ground, white pubescence is 
distributed as follows, —dispersedly on the head and rostrum,— 
on the pronotum a line down the middle and an elongate patch 
on either side near the margins,—on the elytra a large humeral 
patch limited by an oblique line from the scutellum to the lateral 
ls in the l white patch, a very small spot on the 
third interstice slightly behind the middle (just in front of the 
hindmost white and a larger spot on the third interstice
