which may possibly represent a eria allied distinct species, as 
they are of even broader an more obust form than the t e, 
as given to me by Mr. Koebele.

This species is at once separable from the p roosting two 
AMAA and Koebelei) and from petii ag De G., by the 
peculiar structure of the front femora of its e. The e markings 
(resulting from the presence of spaces on which the ashy pube- 
elytra, of which the most conspicuous feature is a rather large 
basal elytral spot close to the scutellum on either side (the two 
Spots united in some examples). This basal elytral spot appears 
very dark and well defined when the insect is looked at obliquely 
from in front, but is much less noticeable when looked at from 
hind. The other parts of the elytra devoid of ashy pubescence 
appear as small spots running into indistinct oblique fasciz,—in 
some examples their fascia-like disposition scarcely discernible. 
Although I MA taken about seven specimens of this insect, 
they are all m
