a transverse line, posterior one small, not reaching the terminal lunule.
d. Two anterior spots obsolete.
e. All spots wanting except the terminal lunule, which is merely an abbreviated transverse line.
f. Elytra immaculate.
Another variety might be added in which the anterior spots are continuous and but slightly separated from the posterior one and terminal lunule. Fig. 4. Pl. 3.
The distinctions between the black variety of rugifrons Dej. and unicolor Dej. are more easily seen than described. Unicolor is smaller, the thorax more smooth; the elytra more convex and more rounded at the humeral angles and tip; the head rather smaller and the labrum white. The whole surface has a smoother and more satiny lustre than rugifrons.
Rugifrons Dej. differs from purpurea Oliv. in the form of the intermediate band which is not sinuate and in wanting the coppery crimson edge of the
