INSECTA SAUNDERSIANA. 
apex, each not far from the side, two others oblique at the base, each placed 
at one-third of the width. 
Scutellum minute, transverse, covered with a whitish pile. 
Elytra ovate-subparallel, hardly narrower than the thorax, together 
nearly half as wide as they are long; base truncate, margined, angular at 
its sides, with the shoulders slightly inside the angle and scarcely raised; 
sides hardly narrowed to two-thirds of the length, then evidently narrowed 
to the apex, which is conjointly subemarginate, with the sutural angle sub- 
spiniform ; inflected sides rather roundly dilated behind the base, then 
slightly emarginate behind the middle; transversely convex, having a 
gibbosity behind the base between the 1st and 3rd striae, with a slight 
transverse impression behind; shallowly punctate-striate ; interstices sub¬ 
depressed ; clothed like the thorax, having a common central velvet-like 
black fuscous patch, transverse, rather saddle-shaped, subtruncate ante¬ 
riorly and posteriorly, with its sides obliquely dilated backwards, and the 
posterior angles acutely produced, resembling also a triangle, the apical 
half of which has been cut away: the light coloured specimens are scat¬ 
tered with numerous fuscous dots. 
Pygidium subcordate, convex, oblique, clothed like the elytra. 
Body beneath clothed like the upper side, but somewhat lighter and 
more uniformly coloured. 
Legs clothed with an ashy or grayish pile, having a narrow and often 
obsolete ring in the middle of the thighs; the apical half of the tibiae and 
the second and fourth joints of the tarsi dark fuscous.
