SECOND YARKAND MISSION. 
margin of clypeus concave-emarginate. Thorax rather more than twice as broad as long ; 
sides rounded, converging from behind the middle to the apex ; the anterior angles obtuse, the 
hinder ones rounded ; disc transversely convex, shining, impunctate, excavated on either side 
near the lateral margin. Scutellum trigonate, piceous. Elytra scarcely broader than the 
thorax, parallel, very finely punctured ; the black markings on their surface extend from the 
base nearly to the middle of the disc, and again from the middle itself nearly to the apex, 
leaving only an irregular flavous transverse hand across the middle, which sends a narrow 
ramus along the suture nearly to the base.

Head clothed with long, erect hairs, minutely punctured ; clypeus not separated from the 
face, its anterior margin angulate-emarginate ; apex of jaws black ; antennae equal in length 
to the head and thorax, the basal joint thickened, pyriform, the second also thickened, short, 
nodose, the third small, not longer than the second, the fourth trigonate, scarcely longer than 
the third, the rest to the apex dilated, the fifth to the ninth transversely trigonate, the tenth 
and eleventh ovate ; eyes large, oval, notched on the inner margin. Thorax nearly three times 
as broad as long ; sides obtusely rounded, slightly converging in front, the hinder angles 
rounded, the anterior ones very obtuse ; basal margin sinuate on either side the median lobe, 
the latter slightly reflexcd, very obtusely rounded ; upper surface transversely convex, remotely 
and very minutely punctured, a concave transverse space on and immediately in front of the 
basal lobe, coarsely and closely punctured. Scutellum longer than broad, subtrigonate, its 
apex obtuse. Elytra scarcely broader than the thorax at the base, slightly dilated posteriorly, 
convex, rather distantly and finely punctured. Eody beneath and legs clothed with long, 
erect fulvous hairs. 
I possess two specimens of this species, both labelled India, but without precise locality ; 
in one of them the head is more coarsely punctured and subrugose, in all other respects it 
agrees with the type.
