male hardly longer than the tibia, its distal half and also the 

 3 following joints with dense brown hairs,* 5 or 6 times as long as 

 the thickness of the tarsus, 2nd joint equal in length to half the 1st, 

 4th not twice the length of the 5th, pulvilli broad ; in the 4 hind legs 

 the tibia and the tarsus, but the femur much less, are provided with 

 long, dense, erect bail's. Terminal joint of the forceps arcuate, the 

 distal third part glabrous, suddenly thinned, the end provided on 

 the median side with 5 or 6 setae as long as the thickness of that 

 part of the joint, upper appendage not projecting beyond the basal 

 joint, glabrous, pubescent on the inner side, elliptically enlarged in 

 its distal middle and ending in a small hooked appendage, the 

 widened part bearing 2 short setae, lower appendage almost linear, 

 pubescent, narrow, reaching the distal 3rd part of the terminal joint,

3 ? Yellow, scape and ila.gellum fulvous in the male, yellowish 

 in the female, except the 6th joint which is brownish black, 



3 shortened bands on the mesonotum, metanotum and mesosternum 

 rufescent, tergites 2-5 with a small brownish black spot, sometimes 

 elongated, sublinear and situated on the anterior half, sometimes in 

 the shape of a subcircular or oval patch ; on the tergites (1-8 this 

 patch is replaced by a large brown space not reaching the edges ; in 

 the female the abdomen is entirely brownish. Frontal lobes small. 

 Antennae 12-jointed in the male, the last joint 4 times as long as the 

 preceding 10 united and fusiform at tip, joints 3-11 three times as 

 thick as long, plume fulvous. Antennae 6-jointedin the female, the 

 12th strongly narrowed in the centre, 3-5 elliptical with the neck 

 a little longer than broad, 6 three times as long as 5, with fairly 

 numerous arcuate setae, longer than the thickness of the joint. 

 Thorax glabrous. Scutellum with long hairs. Wings weakly 

 infuscate, iridescent, with numerous hyaline non-iridescent spots 

 especially along the lower border and also on the alar base, the 

 transverse nervure black. Fore metatarsus of male one-third longer 

 than the tibia, its distal half and the 3 following joints with long 

 hairs but not densely hairy as in the preceding species, 4th joint 

 hardly twice as long as the 5th, pulvilli large, femur and tibia of the 



4 hind legs slightly hirtose. Abdomen with long hairs. Terminal 

 joint of the forceps strongly arcuate, suddenly narrowed and
