between tlie marginal and submarginal patches of wax steep and iriegularly concave. 

 Pubescens fulvous, densest and longest at the margins, more especially so at the two 

 extremities. The narrow margin is clothed with short, white, granulär wax, more or 

 less continuous; and there are contiguovis patches of the same kind of white wax 

 forming a median (abdominal) and a submedian, longitudinal band, which show up 

 very distinctly against the dark ground. Integument piceous; pale duU crimson 

 beneath the patches of wliite wax and the margins; venter dull crimson; legs and 

 sides of abdomen dark piceous. Antennae (Fig. 1) of eleven segments, slightly tapering 

 towards the apex; width of the first segment equal to the length of the terminal

one; second and third cylindrical; fourth to the tenth (inclusive) in length sub-cqual, 

 sides curved outwards from the base; apical segment longest; all the segments with 

 fine Short hairs. Legs stout; tibiae and tarsi (Fig. 2) furnished beneath with lan- 

 ceolate spines (Fig. 2 ab), these spines have a strong central ridge and the basal half 

 of the membranous flanges are granulated. Anal orifice (dorsal) transversely ovate, 

 the surrounding chitine, like the rest of the dorsal epidermis, dense; it looks very 

 like an accidental puncture, but one can distinctly trace a short subcutaneous tube, 

 cylindrical in shape, lying a little on one side of the orifice immediately beneath the 

 dark epidermis. Near the posterior extremity of the abdomen on the venter, are 

 three well-marked and relatively large rings (Fig. 3) of dense brown chitine, 

 enclosing a thin reticulated membrane. These rings are arranged transversely, and
