surface of the thorax and elytra, the femora and base of antennae are pale 
;ous ; the thorax is transverse quadrate, not much rounded on the sides, but 
red behind, with the hind angles projecting and the middle of the base 
ly produced. The blackish markings of the elytra consist of three spots 
be base arranged in a triangle, three or four oblong spots on the interstices 
apex, and a middle strongly flexuous narrow band extending without inter-

Long. 4 millim. Lat. elytr. if millim. ^ ? . 
m oblong flat pitchy -brown species resembling many Th-omii. The parts of 
louth, base of antennae, the legs and middle of the under-surf^ce of the body 
allid ; the middle of the fore and hind margins of the thorax are reddish- 
leous ; the thorax is small, very little wider than the head, rounded on the 
and narrowed posteriorly, with the hind angles distinct but not produced; 
irface both of head and thorax is opaque, owing to the fine sculpture. The 
I have a large pale sub-basal band or patch, widest along the suture, along 
I it generally extends to the scutellum (also pale), and deeply sinuated on each 
)n behind ; the belt is lineated by the dark brown striae, and has on the 3rd 
stice two dark spots covering the ordinary large punctures ; near the apex is 
astomary narrow flexuous band, which is divided into spots by the brown striae.
