 Ann. Mus. Genova (2), X, p. 387, fig. 2 (1890). 

 This handsome species may be readily distinguished from the rest of 

 the Burmese species by its beautiful colouring, being a rich black 

 with a brigh''^ yellowish-red stripe on each segment in front of the posterior 

 border. The anal tergite moreover is strongly saddle-shaped, very much 

 as in tigrina (Butler), that is to say, is concave from above downwards, 

 and convex from sidd to side, with the inferior border produced. The 

 tergites are granular iti froat and striate throughout.

 pubescent in front, black and polished behind, the anal segment l^eiug 

 ochre-yellow and polished and having no inner crest. There are two 

 spines above the claw on the legs.

 A small green species, with the hinder border of its tergites reddish. 

 Tero-ites smooth in front, minutely punctured throughout. The form in 

 size and general appearance resembles Z, excavata (Butler) but may be

 groove behind its anterior border, and by having the anal tergite of the 

 male convex from above downwards and not strongly saddle- 

 shaped.
