Differs from Sparna lycoides (Thoms.) chiefly in colour. The 
tawny spot on the shoulders is connected on each side, by means of a 
broadish vitta, with the median fascia of the same colour ; but the 
epipleura, up to the base, and a large basal patch common to both 
elytra, as well as the apical third, remain black. The under-side and 
legs are black ; the bases of only fore and middle femora being 
reddish.

Carneades nodicornis. 
Convexa, tuberculo centro-basali valde elevato, antennarum scapo apice subito 
fortissime clavato ; supra, guttis nigris et rujis Icete variegata,fasciisque duabus 
purpureo-fuscis ochraceo-albo marginatis, interstitiis viridi-ceneis sericeis : subtus 
ochraceo-cinereo, pedibus nigris cinereo-annulatis : antennis piceo-rups, articulis apice 
nigris, S i0 , 4 i0 , et 6 t0 basi cinereis. Long. 6 lin. 
A prettily-variegated species, differing from C. superba, the type 
of the genus, in the elytra having strongly-elevated centro-basal 
tubercles, and the antennal scape being more abruptly clavate. The 
shoulders of the elytra are prominent, and the lateral carinre faint, as 
in that species ; the apex is truncated and spined in a similar way. 
The thorax differs in its sides being prominent and slightly tuberculated 
in the middle ; in colour it is black with reddish marks, and a broad 
ashy-white vitta on each side.
