Yellow with black lines ; face yellow, above with a transversal narrow

 narrow yellow line between the antennas from the vertex ; a faint median 

 black line goes from the black band nearly to the clypeus ; labrum yel- 

 low ; palpi short, pale yellowish, maxillary with apical joint, cylindrical, 

 black except on tip, the two preceding joints with a brownish mark in the 

 middle ; labials a little longer, apical joint hirsute, black shining except on 

 base, fusiform, thickened, the apical third thin, pointed ; on the inflated 

 part an ocellus like spot. Antennae not fully as long as head and pro-

 dinal bands, the internals approximate ; space between the externals with 

 a yellow band, or divided in two elongate spots ; the two externals some-
