Long. 5 tin., 9 (excl. ovipos.). 
Distinct from all other described species by the central yellow 
Mtta of the thorax, and the numerous pale markings of the elytra ; the 
latter consisting, on each, of nine spots. These spots are : — one, the 
largest, central on the suture and common to both elytra ; two, small, 
on the epipleurae ; four, also small, scattered over the basal half of 
the disc ; one, rather larger and more transverse, towards the apex ; 
and one on the apical margin. The whitish spots on the sides of the 
bod\ beneath begin with two narrow belts on the flanks of the pro- 
thorax, and are continued, one on each sternal plate and ventral 
segment, to the apex. The thorax is rather more elongate than in 
the preceding species, its broadest part being much nearer the base, 
whence it tapers towards the apex. The elytra are considerably 
narrowed from base to apex. The ovipositor projects one-eighth of 
an inch beyond the elytra, and its dorsal segment is convex and un- 
grooved.

Long. 4 — 5£ tin., 3 $ . 
Ill colour and markings much resembling the species of Colo- 
bothea, but distinguished from that genus by the narrower thorax 
(slightly rounded in the middle), and by the ovipositor of the female 
being slender and projecting considerably beyond the tips of the 
elytra ; both which characters are those of Synchyzopus. The upper 
segment of the ovipositor ends in a sharp point, and is plane above. 
The spotty, ochreous or pinky-ochreous patches of the elytra are spread 
very irregularly over the base, but in the middle and towards the apex 
they are condensed into transverse flexuous belts, and the apex has a 
large transverse spot of the same colour.
