138 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



the transverse furrow ; in front of each of these latter stripes, near 

 anterior margin, a fuscous spot. Lateral carinae luteous. Below luteous, 

 on either side, next carinae, a dark fuscous streak, extending nearly as far 

 forward as the dorsal transverse furrow, 



Mesonotum luteous, with anterior, posterior and lateral lobes very 

 strongly elevated ; anterior lobe with a broad, dark fuscous stripe each 

 side near middle line ] anteriorly each of these stripes extends outward, 

 then backward along the furrow, separating anterior and lateral lobes, 

 thus forming an inverted U-shaped marking ; each lateral lobe has an 

 elongate spot near middorsal line, and on the outer side of this an 

 inverted " U," the ends of which nearly meet ; posterior lobe with a 

 longitudinal dark fuscous stripe each side and a rather faint median one 

 {sometimes wanting), the posterior margin with a dark dot medially ; 

 posterior angles each marked by two longitudinal, dark fuscous stripes ; a 

 few fuscous dots at place of attachment of anterior wings. Sides and 

 beneath luteous, marked with fuscous. 



Metanotuni luteous ; the lobes distinctly elevated, but less so than 

 those of mesonotum ; anterior lobe with a U-shaped, dark fuscous 

 marking ; lateral lobes marked similarly to those of mesonotum ; posterior 

 lobe with an inverted, heart-shaped, dark fuscous spot ; posterior angles 

 fuscous, margined with luteous. Sides and beneath luteous, marked 

 with fuscous. 



Abdomen shorter than wings, luteous, a longitudinal median dark 

 fuscous stripe above, narrowed or interrupted at articulations ; a similar 

 stripe bounds the dorsum each side ; beneath luteous, a fuscous line each 

 side and a good-sized fuscous spot in the middle of all but the basal 

 segments. 



Tip of abdomen luteous, above with long dark hairs ; superior part 

 split, a transverse row of black spines at base ; inferior part beset with 

 black spines ; below, two small cylindrical or slightly clavate luteous 

 appendages, twice as long as broad and armed with dark spines or 

 bristles, project from apex of last segment. 



Legs of moderate length, luteous ; armed with some long, and 

 numerous short, black and pale spines ; somewhat hairy. Tibial spurs as 

 long or slightly longer than first tarsal joint, somewhat curved, rufo- 

 piceous. Tarsal joints sometimes rufo-piceous at their apices, third and 

 fourth especially so ; claws somewhat more than half the length of last 

 tarsal joint, moderately curved, rufo-piceous.
