196 THE fASADlAH BN'TOMULOOIST. 



from ihe scutelluin about half the lengtli of the mesonotum, where they 

 terminate in two briUiant round yellow spots, also a faint median spot 

 near the nape, heavy bunches of brown bristles on either side of the "bare 

 space '' and at the wing joint ; pleura brown with some pale scales ; 

 scutellum brown with bright ochraceous curved scales and many brown 

 bristles ; metanotum brown. 



Abdomen brown, closely covered with brown Hat scales and a few 

 apical ochraceous ones on the 4th, 5th and 6th segments, making minute 

 apical bands on the two latter, aj)ical hairs ochraceous, venter ochraceous, 

 with dark apical bands, the ochraceous scales extending on the seventh 

 segment so as to form small lateral spots visible on the dorsal aspect. 



Legs : Coxai brown with pale scales, trochanters with ochraceous 

 scales ; all the femora with very dark brown scales, speckled or mottled 

 with ochraceous si)ots, ventrally ocliraceous and with an apical ochraceous 

 spot ; tibire dark, mottled with ochraceous spots, the bases and apices very 

 narrowly ochraceous-bandcd, and in some lights the whole tibia looks 

 fawn-coloured ; all the femora and tibiiii with many dark brown bristles ; 

 all the tarsi very dark, but in some lights appear fawn-coloured. Fore and 

 mid ungues with a tiny basal protuberance, hardly a tooth, hind ungues 

 simple. 



Wings : Clear, with very small brown scales ; indeed, for the size of 

 the insect all the scales are small ; the median scales rather heavy and 

 Tte/iior/iy/ic/ii^shkc, the lateral scales linear. The apex of the wing is 

 densely scaled, but the base of the sixth and third long veins have appar- 

 ently never had any lateral scales, though there are a few at the apex of 

 the sixth, and the apical half of the third is rather densely scaled. The 

 costa shows a delicately spinous eflfect. The cells are long, neatly double 

 the length of the stems, and the first submarginal is longer and narrower 

 than the second posterior cell, their bases nearly on a line ; the root of 

 the third long vein and the mid cross-vein meet and are of about equal 

 length, the posterior cross vein is about one-quarter longer, and is directed 

 slightly backward and only a little interior to the mid. Hahcres are dark, 

 the knob darker than the stem. 



Length, 7.5 mm., without i)roboscis. 



Habitat. — Cottabato, Mindanao, P. I. 



Taken December. 



Described from one nearly perfect specimen sent by Capt. Eastman, 

 M. C, U. S. Army. It is a large species, and in the hand is a rich 

 reddish-brown, the two yellow spots on the thorax being very noticeable.
