another, placed at the base of each side of the disc, about midway between 
the median and the lateral, short, reaching only to one-third of the length, 
oblique, following the obliqueness of the lateral line, which is placed, not 
exactly along the sides, as in that species, but extending a little upon 
the disc towards the apex: the scutellum is more rounded: the elytra are 
proportionally shorter and broader, having the same whitish marks, but dif¬ 
ferently shaped : the common longitudinal patch, although divided into 
three parts, has the divisions less widely interrupted or separated next the 
base and posteriorly, its median part descending lower behind, and it 
is less acutely emarginate at the suture, its posterior (triangular) part 
is smaller, less distant from the median, the latter being more elongate, 
although in the same position: the apical spot is smaller, shorter, and dis¬ 
tant from the suture: the pygidium has not a median yellowish line, but 
its sides are margined with that colour; it is proportionally shorter 
and more conic, its apical truncature is consequently narrower, and the 
angles are not acutely subspiniform : the sides of the abdomen are not 
entirely margined, each ring having only its posterior half marked with a 
whitish patch.
