base ; surface black, sides each with a broad ashy stripe, in the 
centre of which is a short black line. Elytra twice the width of 
the thorax at its base, elongated, narrowed near the apex, the 
latter broadly sinuate-truncate (angles not produced) ; surface 
punctured, olivaceous black, marked with a number of small 
dingy-ashy spots, most of which are confluent, and tend to form 
three transverse flexuous lines. Body beneath plumbeous black; 
sides, from the prothorax to the apex of the abdomen, ashy. 
Legs black, basal joint of tarsi grey. 
. Apical ventral segment truncated, sharply notched in the 
middle ; dorsal segment slightly emarginated in the middle. 
Para. The species resembles greatly in form and coloration 
certain species of Colobothea. The absence of a lateral carina to 
the elytra readily distinguishes it from that genus. 
Eutrypanus Colobotheides, White (Cat. Long. Col. Brit. Mus. 
ii. p. 372), belongs also to our genus Sporetus.
