mediate one slanting, bi-sinuate dentate on each 
margin, broader in the sutural than in the lateral 
part and connected along the suture with a diagonal 
supra-apical third band ; all the bands and patches 
red (pi. xxiv., fig. 62) cceca. 
Base of elytra with a red border, three sub-basal 
irregular pale yellow patches disposed transversely, 
median pale-yellow band narrow, strongly zigzagged, 
posterior one V-shaped, the V formed by two spurs 
connected with a supra- apical small central patch 
(pi. xxiv., fig. 63) zigzaga. 
B^ Head and prothorax clothed with an erect, and more or less 
deeply flavescent pubescence. 
Head, prothorax, and under side clothed with a dense flave- 
scent pubescence ; yellow bands of the elytra invading the 
greatest part of the surface leaving only a juxta-scutellary 
and a humeral black patch, three strongly zigzagged very narrow 
transverse bands and a supra-apical median spot connected with 
the posterior band (pi. xxiv., fig. 64) dentata. 
Head, prothorax, and under side clothed with a greyish black 
pubescence ; elytra with a broad basal yellow band with a 
supra-humeral black spot, the lower edge is plainly denticulate, 
two ante- and post-median transverse bands reaching from side 
to side, the first three-dentate on each side, the other nearly 
interrupted in the centre and also strongly dentate, an apical 
band formed of two connected patches, which are, however, 
occasionally separated (pi. xxiv., fig. 65) lacerata.

Elongated, black, antennae, with the exception of the two black basal 
joints, yellow ; opaque, spots and bands on the elytra light stramineous 
yellow; labrum, head and prothorax clothed with a dense, erect, black 
pubescence, under side similarly hairy ; on the legs the pubescence is 
shorter, and in the inner part of the fore tibiae it is slightly flavescent, 
with a silky sheen ; the head and prothorax are covered with deep, closely 
but somewhat irregularly set punctures ; on the elytra the punctures are 
nearly similar, but the black or dark brown background is more coriaceous 
than the bands, and densely but briefly hairy, the bands or spots are much 
more briefly hairy and the hairs are much scattered ; the under side and 
legs are very closely aciculate ; basal part of elytra with a dorsal, sub- 
transversely ovate yellow patch ; under the humeral part, and reaching 
the outer margin, is a smaller, elongate- ovate patch of the same colour
