patch; posterior band strongly bi-constricted, much 
narrower near the margin than near the suture, con- 
tinued as a red band along the outer margin and 
coalescing at apex with a very broad, dark-red patch 
(pi. xxiv., fig. 74) peringiLeyi. 
Basal patch of elytra not connected in the dorsal part 
with the anterior band. 
A dorsal basal elongate red patch and a lateral one 
connected along the suture with a median, very little 
sinuate red band, post-median band similar in shape 
and colour, posterior patch filling the apex, and also 
red ; pubescence flavescent (pi. xxlv., fig. 76) . . . . Uanda. 
Dorsal yellow or sub-orange-yellow basal patches ovate, 
reaching the suture ; anterior and posterior bands 
strongly constricted in the centre, triangularly dilated 
towards the outer margin, but occasionally divided each 
into two patches, apical part invading nearly the whole 
apex, or crescent-shaped ; body shagreened (pi. xxiv., 
figs. 77, 78) gyllenhali. 
The same, but with the dorsal basal patches coalescing 
across the suture, apical patch reaching very short of 
the suture ; body not shagreened (pi. xxiv., fig. 79) . . serricornis. 
Base of elytra with a basal, yellowish, or yellowish red 
transverse band nearly equal in width to the anterior 
and posterior which are narrow, strongly bi-zigzagged, 
and expand narrowly along the outer margin ; apical 
patch sub-transversely ovate, median but emitting a 
spur towards the outer margin (pi. xxiv., fig. 80) .. spuria. 
Each elytron with four yellow, more or less rounded 
patches between the dorsal part and the suture, a 
humeral elongated yellow band connected with a sub- 
median lateral patch, past the middle another marginal 
patch ; these two marginal patches are occasionally 
connected with the two dorsal ones, or very narrow 
and broadly disconnected (pi. xxiv., figs. 81, 82, 83) . . aliena. 
Elytra each with four yellow dorsal spots set in a longi- 
tudinal row, and three marginal ones the basal of which 
is plainly elongated (pi. xxiv., fig. 84) hohemani. 
D\ Basal part of elytra with a broad yellow band connected 
more or less completely with the anterior one. 
Antennae reddish or yellow with the two basal joints black. 
Dorsal patch of elytra coalescing along the suture with the 
anterior moderately bi-sinuate band, second band constricted in 
the centre, reduced thence to the margin by half its width, and 
with the lower edge bi-sinuate ; apical part with two ovate, 
coalescing patches ; bands and patches reddish ; antennae 
flabellate inwardly (pi. xxiv., fig. 75) marshalli.
