length and there feebly quadri-dentate, slightly serrulate from there 

 to the apex, posterior declivity abrupt, not marginate at tip, upper 

 part foveate, intervals of foveae not carinate ; abdomen pyriform, 

 apical band of first segment subaculeate in the centre, but not 

 reaching quite the sides, second and third bands very well defined, 

 fourth and fifth segments with a small lateral patch, second abdo- 

 minal segment punctured in the centre and feebly striolate laterally 

 and basally in the dorsal part ; tibiae with a double series of spines. 

 Length 74 mm.

MUTILLA CALLIKHOE. 



Female. Head black in the anterior part, posterior part dark 

 ferruginous, upper part of thorax ferruginous red, sides and ster- 

 num black, abdomen black, tibiaa and tarsi ferruginous, femora 

 piceous black, clothed with moderately dense black or slightly 

 greyish hairs ; head a little narrower than the thorax, with the sides 

 behind the eyes straight and slightly rounded in the posterior angle, 

 deeply and broadly foveate with the intervals very distinctly carinate ; 

 thorax broadest in the anterior part for about one-third of the length, 

 where it is deeply incised laterally, and quite parallel from there to 

 the declivity, which is quite perpendicular, the apical margin is 

 truncate, the lateral ones carinate, and the dorsal part covered with 

 broad and deep foveae so arranged that the intervals form longitudinal 

 carinae hardly wavy and reaching from the apex to the top of the 

 declivity, the lateral margins are hardly serrulate ; the first and 

 second abdominal segments are covered with narrow, elongate punc- 

 tures, with the intervals raised and subcarinate in the latter ; the 

 whole of the first segment is clothed with a bright orange silky 

 pubescence produced in a triangle the point of which overlaps the 

 basal part of the second segment, the apical band of which is also 

 produced triangularly towards the dorsal median part, without, how- 

 ever, reaching it ; the third segment is entirely clothed with a band 

 of the same colour, and the following segments have no trace of any 

 such orange pubescence on the dorsal surface, but the second, third, 

 fourth, and fifth have a distinct, uninterrupted ventral band ; tibise 

 with a double series of spines ; ventral carina of first segment 

 short, sharp, and truncate at both ends. Length 10 mm.

MUTILLA GLAUCE. 



Female. Closely allied to M. callirhoe ; the shape of the head 

 and thorax is similar, but owing to the intervals between the foveae
