 Head distinctly and sometimes much wider than the thorax, marked with 

 yellow or white, the superorbital fovea? long, linear ; abdomen not elon- 

 gate, always banded or marked with yellow or white, the dorsal seg- 

 ments broadly depressed at apex and differently sculptured from the

Profandreiia Ckll. 

 Second cubital cell receiving the first recurrent nervure near its base, the sec- 

 ond recurrent interstitial with the third transverse cubitus; labial 

 palpi 4-jointed, the joints subequal, short, stout and cylindrical, but 

 gradually becoming slenderer; abdomen oblong-oval, fasciate, with 



white hair bands Apista Smith.
