Prothorax longer than bi'oad, slightly rounded in the middle at each side, a little constricted near base and apex, Elytra long, somewhat parallel- sided, flattened above near the suture, each emarginate or truncate, and bidentate at the apex. Femora pedunculate and clavate, the hind pair shorter than the abdomen. First joint of hind tarsus equal to or longer than the second and third united. Acetabula of front coxa? almost closed posteriorly ; the intercoxal process narrow, a little dilated at the end. Episterna of metathorax narrowed to a point posteriorly. Abdomen cylindrical, first segment a httle longer than the second. 390. Cleomenes chryseus, sp. u. Head, prothorax, scutellum and body beneath densely covered with golden pubescence ; head black behind the eyes and across the hind border; prothorax \\ith four black spots above and a small anterior spot on each side, the two anterior discal spots smaller, subapproximate, the two posterior larger and more widely separated; a short median carina also black. Elytra testaceous yellow, marked each Mith three narrow, longitudinal, dull black bands—one along the suture, another along the outer margin ; the third extends from above the shoulder in front to some distance beyond the middle of the disc behind, and is united posteriorly to the outer baud by means of two narrow oblique spots ; that part of the elytron which lies between these spots and the sutural band densely covered with golden pubescence; the rest of the elytx-a, except near the apex, bare of pubescence ; ante
