tubercles (one much above the middle, on the third and fourth interstice ; 
the other at the middle, nearer to the suture), black; besides these, 
several black maculae, one basal, inside the concolor spine; a second 
lateral, somewhat lower than the first dorsal tubercle, at the anterior 
third ; a third intra-lateral, behind the middle and the second dorsal 
tubercle, larger; a fourth near the suture, at the posterior fourth of the 
length also larger ; a fifth intra-lateral, very little lower than the fourth 
spot; a sixth apical; finally, a common one at the suture, under 
the scutellum. Pygidium distantly rugose, with a black spot on each 
side near the margin. Pectus rugose, with three black maculee ; one on 
the medi-pectus, basal, under the anterior coxeb, small; two on the post- 
pectus, one sublateral inside the post-epimera, large, the other under the 
posterior coxae. Abdomen rather strongly punctate; four posterior 
femora having an ante-apical macula ; tibiae finely crenulate underneath.

Extremely similar to the preceding in sculpture, outline, and black 
markings of the thorax, elytra, pygidium and legs, but smaller, less 
deplan ate and lighter in colour; the elytra have no sanguineous hue; 
finally, it differs in the following points*.—
