more shagreened ; on each side the basal dorsal ovate patch coalesces 
along the suture with the broad anterior band which is moderately 
deeply sinuate, the lateral patch is elongated but does not reach the 
anterior band, the post-median is broad and sub-quadrate from the suture 
to the median part, narrowed thence to the outer margin by about one- 
third, and the hind border is narrowly but somewhat deeply incised at 
about the middle ; close to the apex but reaching neither the margin 
nor the suture are two elongate ovate patches coalescing at about their 
median respective part. 
Length 24 mm. ; width 8 mm.

This species is easily recognised from among the other South African

Black, clothed with a dense flavescent, sub-silky pubescence very 
noticeable on the elytra ; antennae black, the intermediate joints strongly 
aculeate flabellate in the inner side in the male, serrate only in the female ; 
head and prothorax covered with deep punctures separated by a narrow, 
somewhat irregularly raised wall, and coalescing in some places, especially 
on the frontal part ; black background of elytra finely shagreened, the 
bands and patches are red and covered with deep, contiguous, moderately 
small punctures, the basal dorsal patch is more in the shape of a longi- 
tudinal band reaching to one-fifth of the length, there is a lateral somewhat 
narrow band which rounds the shoulder, coalesces narrowly there with the 
dorsal band, and is produced downwards along the margin as far as the 
anterior transverse band which is of moderate width and only slightly bi- 
sinuate on each border, the post-median band is of the same width as the 
anterior, and the hind border is also slightly bi-sinuate, the posterior patch 
fills the whole apical part.
