 ochraceous, broad, its cephalic portion slightly ampliated, the 

 posterior half of the thoracic portion narro\ver than the anterior 

 half ; black lateral bands as wide as the middle part of the median 

 band ; submarginal stripes pale yellow, broad, very sharply marked 

 and parallel-sided ; black marginal stripes also well marked. 

 Anterior row of eyes strongly procurved, the medians situated some 

 little distance above the line joining the upper margins of the lateral 

 eyes ; distance between the eyes of the second row distinctly exceed- 

 ing their diameter ; posterior quadrangle of eyes distinctly broader 

 behind than in front, much broader than long, its lateral length less 

 than its anterior width, the posterior eyes much smaller than those 

 of the second row.
