Fulvous ; the sides and anterior portion of the head and the 
antenna? black ; elytra black, the disc with a regular flavous band 
from base to apex ; the breast, knees, the tibiae and tarsi black. 
Head : the intraocular space slightly convex and sparingly 
punctured, with a small central fovea, the space in front of the 
eyes and the entire anterior portion black ; antennae black, rather 
long and slender, the basal joint obscure fulvous, terminal joints 
slender. Thorax with the anterior portion strongly convex and 
rather widened, the angles rounded, the lateral cavities sulciform, 
connected with the very deep basal sulcus, the surface entirely 
impunctate. Scutellum black. Elytra with the basal portion 
not deeply but distinctly depressed, the punctures at that place 
deep and very closely placed, with the interstices transversely 
rugose ; a sutural and a lateral band black, of equal width, but 
the lateral one slightly w idened at the middle ; between these 
bands is a flavous vitta of nearly similar width. The breast, the 
apex of the femora and the tibiae and tarsi black.

and legs flavous ; thorax often with 4 spots ; 
elytra with a humeral and a post-median 
round spot. 
Head impunctate, labrum black, posterior 
portion of vertex strougly constricted ; 
frontal tubercles strongly raised, scarcely 
divided ; antennse fulvous, scarcely extended 
to middle of elytra, second to fifth joints 
gradually lengthened, terminal joints twice 
as long as broad. Thorax rather widened 
anteriorly, with pointed angles, sides mode- 
rately constricted in the middle, basal sulcus 
deep, surface impunctate ; with or without 
four small black spots placed subquadrately, 
two at each side. Elytra with shallow de-
