Black, the thorax red, the legs black, the anterior knees, tibiae, 

 and tarsi testaceous, the hind tibiae with a broad white band at the 

 base ; wings hyaline, a broad band extending from shortly behind 

 the base of the radius to near the middle of the radial cellule, extend- 

 ing shortly beyond the recurrent nervure, into the second apical 

 cellule, where it becomes roundly narrowed ; there is a smaller cloud 

 along the transverse median and apical half of the basal nervures, it 

 being roundly narrowed in front and much broader behind than 

 bej'Ond the nervures ; the nervures and stigma black, the base of the 

 stigma white ; tegulae red. ? .

 narrowed from shortly before the middle, the keels almost uniting ; 

 the apex is slightly rounded inwardly ; the petiolar area is open at 

 the base ; the two lateral arese are open on the outer side ; the apical 

 triangular ; the keels on the posterior median area are only distinct 

 on the top; the spiracular area is not defined. First abdominal 

 segment broad at the base, becoming gradually wider towards the 

 apex ; the centre of the post-petiole is raised, stoutly longitudinally 

 striated ; the sides rugose, with curved striae ; the second to fourth 

 segments are closely, strongly longitudinally striated ; the others 

 smooth ; there is a broad, curved furrow beyond the middle of the 

 second segment, and there is a narrow crenulated furrow on the 

 apex ; there is a similar furrow on the base of the third and a wider 

 one on the apex, the border being raised ; the centre is broadly 

 depressed.
