of the pronotiim narrowlj^ the upper part of the propleur^, the 

 mark largely dilated at the apex and curved downwards, the lower 

 edge and the prosternum a large mark, longer than broad, on the 

 apical half of mesonotum, its sides joined to the base by a narrow 

 line, an irregular mark reaching near to the apex and dilated at 

 the base, on the sides of the metanotum, the mesopleurae at the 

 base above behind the oblique furrow, a large, longish mark, 

 wide at the apex in the centre and a line along the upper half of 

 the base of the metapleui-ae, black. Wings fuscous, paler below 

 the stigma ; the costa and stigma red ; the nervures black ; the 

 recurrent nervure is received distinctly in front of the transverse 

 cubital nervure, not interstitial. Male.

 furrowed in the middle ; antennal tubercles rufous ; face 

 shagreened. Mandibles rufous, broadly black at the apex ; palpi 

 blackish, the apical joint of the maxillary, testaceous. Parapsidal 

 furrows obsolete. The middle lobe of 1st abdominal segment 

 irregularly longitudinally striated ; the sides closely striated at thf' 

 base ; the 2nd and Hrd segments strongly, closely striated ; the 

 centre of the 2nd is raised at the base, the basal part widest and it 

 is more closely striated ; the 4th and 5th are shagreened in the

 except for a small spot near the lower part of the transverse basal

 the base of the stigma to the base of the radius across the wing, a 

 slightly narrower cloud on either side of the 2nd transverse cubital 

 nervure, extending on to the radial cellule, where it is oblique and
