Smaller species (<17 mm). Western, central to east and south-central Africa................................................................................... 2

- Pronotum less transverse (length to width ratio <1.6), with maximum width more behind midlength, anterior angles not or weakly lobed and protruded anteriorly. Larger species (> 17 mm). Central, eastern to South Africa.....................3

2 Labial palps, antennae (except base), tibiae and tarsi mostly piceo-ferrugineous; elytra with two orange maculae rounded, not fragmented, macular margins not serrate; humeral macula reaching from V. (or VI.) to VIII. interval, with outer macular spots gradually elongate and reaching to humerus, preapical reaching from V. to VIII. interval. Length 15–16 mm.
