 the base. 



Shining black, with grey pubescence; the flagellum of the 

 antennae bright orange. Wings fusco-hyaline with faint violet 

 reflections. The second cubital cell is much produced towards

14. A. ALBOPiLOSA, n.sp. 



9- Head strongly punctured, with white pubescence on the 

 posterior margin. Thorax strongly punctured, most closely on 

 the anterior portion of the pronotum, the pronotum covered with 

 long, thin, black pubescence. Median segment opaque, more 

 finely punctured, obliquely truncate posteriorly. Abdomen 

 densely and rather finely punctured, the apical margins of the 

 segments above and beneath with a fringe of short, broad, scale- 

 like hairs of a silver- white colour, the sides of the segments with 

 long black pubescence. The fifth segment is without the white 

 marginal fringe, and is clothed with long black pubescence. 

 The pygidium is broadly rounded at the apex, the apical portion 

 bare and very finely punctured. 



Entirely black, the pygidium fuscous at the apex. Wings 

 fuscous, with very faint violet reflections at the base. The 

 second cubital cell is rather longer along the radial nervure and 

 less produced towards the base along the cubital nervure than in
