fifth fulvous, rest black, all very elongate, extending beyond middle 
of elytra. Thorax nearly twice as broad as long, strongly narrowed 
anteriorly, surface entirely impunctate, 
fulvous ; the base with two elongate 
oblique black spots which diverge at 
apex. Scutellum rather narrowly tri- 
angular, fulvous margined with black. 
Elytra elongate subcylindrical, mode- 
rately strongly punctate - striate, the 
shoulders without punctures, the three 
or four outer interstices longitudinally 
costate ; a black humeral spot, two others 
placed transversely at middle (one below 
the humeral spot, the other near suture), 
and a fourth near suture and apes, this 
last spot smaller than the others. Breast 
and legs fulvous, sides of former black ; 
tarsi fuscous. Prosternum deeply bilobed 
at posterior margin, pointedly produced 
anteriorly. 
Length 5 mm.

Differs from any of its congeners in the position of the elytral

$ . Testaceous ; thorax with two, elytra with four, black spots 
(2.2); scutellum and margins of elytra also black. 
Head finely punctured, a small black spot at base of antennae ; 
eyes widely separated, broadly angularly notched ; clypeus semi- 
circularly divided from face ; antennae rather short, basal joint 
flavous, the others obscure fulvous, third and fourth equal, 
following joints slightly widened. Thorax twice as broad as 
long, strongly obliquely narrowed in front, sides feebly rounded ; 
surface impunctate, testaceous, extreme margins black ; disc with 
two well-separated subquadrate black spots at middle. Scutellum 
trigonal, impunctate. Elytra short and broad, slightly narrowed 
towards apex, base without depression ; surface rather strongly and 
regularly punctate-striate, interstices slightly convex at sides; of 
the four black spots one is placed on the shoulders, one near the 
scutellum immediately below base, and the others trail sversety 
near apex, these latter are slightly oblong in shape ; of the basal 
spots the humeral one is elongate and the inner one rounded ; 
the elytral epipleuroe are only very feebly produced at the 
shoulders. Pygidium, entire underside, and legs testaceous.
