attenuation, as well as in straightness or slight curvature of the 

 distal portion. The ovipositor is quite constant in form. 



Color Notes. — The dorsum of the body shows a pronounced 

 ochraceous suffusion in some males, this occasionally more 

 decided on the pronotum, while the lateral lobes have their 

 dorsum occasionally quite solid (except for the usual pale hum- 

 eral border) shining black. The latter feature varies in depth 

 and is most marked in the male, and when decided is accom- 

 panied by a corresponding blackening of the dorsal section of 

 the pleura. One female is very distinctive in having the en- 

 tire dorsum, from the fastigium to the apex of the abdomen, 

 uniform bay, this sharply delimited laterad by the lateral carinae 

 of the pronotum and abdomen.
