basal lobe. Scutellum large. Elytra parallel-sided, subcylin- 
drical, minutely and sparingly punctured, with a very shallow 
transverse depression below base ; beneath clothed with long 
fulvous pubescence. Eirst joint of posterior tarsi as long as the 
following two joints united, first joint of anterior tarsi more 
elongate.

Elavous ; elytra with a broad transverse black band behind the 
middle ; underside and legs clothed with 
very long fulvous hairs. 
df . The anterior legs and their tarsi 
elongate. 
Head finely punctured on the vertex, 
transversely grooved between the eyes, 
the latter large, very slightly notched at 
their lower edge ; antennae comparatively 
long, fulvous, the fourth and following 
joints transversely serrate, the terminal 
three joints much smaller. Thorax about 
one and a half times broader than long 
in the male, twice as broad as long in the 
female, the sides gradually narrowed in 
front ; the disc rather convex, impunctate, 
with the exception of a few punctures in front of the scutellum, 
the anterior margin with a fringe of long fulvous hairs. Scutellum 
broad. Elytra flavous, shining, impunctate, scarcely lobed below 
the shoulders, covering the pygidium ; the posterior black band 
broad, its posterior margin concave leaving the apex in shape of 
a rounded flavous spot, anterior edge of the band irregularly 
notched. 
Length 7| mm.

On account of the elongate tarsi, pubescent legs and elytral 
epipleurae, this species cannot remain in Clytra and must find its 
place in the present genus. Duvivier had probably only female 
specimens before him, in which the tarsi are less elongate. The 
variety minor is less than half the size and the entire posterior 
portion of the elytra is black. The pubescence on the epipleurae 
can only be seen in perfect specimens, as it is not unfrequently 
rubbed off.
