Remarks.

Kapur (1948) described this species from Sikkim, India. Two specimens from Tibet, China match the description except coloration variation on elytra. In the original description, the spots on sutural and middle part of the elytron distinctly larger than that on humeral callus, the spot on pronotum is oval. However, in the present specimens we examined, the spots on sutural and middle part are as large as that on humeral callus, the spot on pronotum is triangular (Fig. 6 a–c).
