Subject to considerable variation in size, the elytral spots some- 
times quite obsolete or just visible without a lens, and only in 
well-preserved specimens.

Bemotina semifasciata, Jac. Ann. Mus. Civ. Genova , xxxii, 1892, 
p. 906; id. Ann. Soc. Ent. Bely, xlviii, 1904, p. 684. 
Closely covered with grey hairs ; antennae, labrum and legs 
fulvous ; two transverse bands behind the middle on the elytra 
and some spots, denuded of hairs, fuscous. 
Head closely covered with grey adpressed pubescence ; clypeus 
fulvous, shining, transverse, separated from the face by a deep 
groove, anterior border deeply emarginate in the middle ; antennae 
long and filiform, apical three or four joints piceous, third and 
fourth elongate, equal, terminal joints much shorter. Thorax trans- 
verse, twice as broad as long, sides slightly rounded, margined at 
the base only, surface pubescent like the head, a faint whitish stripe 
in the middle. Scutellum with similar pubescence. Elytra wider 
at the base than the thorax, subcylindrical, punctures in closely 
approximate rows ; the smooth spaces form two transverse macular 
bands, between which on each elytron a fuscous spot of irregular 
shape is apparent. Posterior femora very strongly incrassate, with 
a large tooth, the other femora less strongly thickened and more 
feebly dentate. 
Length 61-4 mm.

I find it necessary to change both the generic and specific

p. 68o. 
Obscure fuscous, clothed with grey scales ; basal joints of 
antennae and base of tibiae fulvous ; thorax with indistinct grey 
bands ; elytra piceous, shoulders within and the sides obscure 
fulvous. 
Head covered with grey scales, sides obscure fulvous, middle 
piceous, or the head entirely of this colour; clypeus fulvous, not 
separated from the face, transverse, finely and closely punctured; 
labrum also fulvous; antennae extending to middle of elytra, 
second joint small, third and fourth equal, terminal joints 
shorter. Thorax about half as broad again as long, lateral 
margins obsolete, surface closely covered with grey scales which 
form sometimes more or less distinct longitudinal stripes, punc- 
turation very fine and close. Scutellum closely pubescent. Elytra 
rather more distinctly punctured than the thorax, punctures 
arranged in extremely close rows, a sutural patch at base and the
