Body reddish brown, underneath hairy, with white decumbent hairs. Head black, minutely and 

 thickly punctured, with a longitudinal slight channel, transversely elevated between the antenna; ; 

 vertex elevated ; palpi, labrum, antennas and extremity of the nose, rufous : prothorax black, rather 

 oblong, elevated longitudinally in the disk with an anterior bowed transverse ridge, followed by 

 several minute acute tubercles, next in the middle is another shorter ridge, which is also succeeded 

 by similar tubercles : the sides of the prothorax are granulated ; between the granulated portion and 

 elevated disk, it is minutely reticulated, with a pore in the centre of each reticulation : elytra brown, 

 subacute, with three bands formed of decumbent white hairs ; the first forming a crescent at the 

 scutellum, which runs along the base and down the suture ; the second in the middle first running 

 transversely, then turning upwards towards the base and again turning down so as to form a hook 

 next the suture ; the third near the apex, running transversely from the external margin to the 

 suture and then turning upwards so as to form another crescent ; there is also a dot between the 

 two first bands near the lateral margin ; there is a large hairy white spot on the sides of the breast, 

 and the anterior ventral segments have a white hairy band at the apex : the legs are rufous, the 

 hinder pair remarkably long.

DESCRIPTION. 



This comes extremely near to the preceding species, but is smaller, the discoidal ridges of the 

 prothorax are nearly obsolete, that part has four white hairy spots, the bands of the elytra are dif- 

 ferently shaped, and the posterior legs are considerably shorter : the breast and base of the abdomen 

 underneath are hoary with white hairs, but not always spotted and banded.
