is reddish brown, about the color of the i)ale markings on the mesothorax, 
shading into jialer reddish brown l)elow, with the dark areas l)lack. 
AI)domen largely bright red; segment one is black, with an apical dorsal 
j’ellowish red spot separated from or joined with a large apical lateral spot 
of more yellowish color, which in turn is separated from or joined with a 
still more yellow pale inferior longitudinal stripe; segment two with a narrow 
basal ring and two to ten with narrow apical rings black, brown on ten; nine 
with a large dorsal basal l)lack spot on two-thirds of its length, this spot 
joined with or sej)arate from a lateral spot of similar extent, which, on the 
extreme lower border, is produced {posteriorly and joins the apical ring; ten 
basally black above for nearly half its length, the spot longest in the mid- 
dorsal line; sides of two above the genitalia narrowly yellowish, above this 
a broad black band continuous basally and apically with the black rings; 
three to eight with the extreme lower lateral edge very narrowly yellow, 
above this a black stripe the length of each segment, progressively wider 
from three to eight. Ventral suture black. Appendages dark reddish brown, 
darker at apex. 
Legs black, femora paler inside basally, and tibiae externall}’ with a light 
brown or yellowish line the entire length; tooth on tarsal claw small, better 
developed than in eslhera. 
AMngs tinged with yellowish brown beyond the arculus, except in one speci- 
men in which they are clear; they are ver}' pale in two others; stigma brown, 
almost or cjuite covering one cell, its costal length equal to or slightly more 
than twice its width. In two right front wings Cui all but reaches the cross- 
vein descending from the first postnodal. In the left hind wing of one of the 
same specimens there is a transverse cross-vein in the distal triangular cell 
posterior to Ciu; and in the left hind wing of the other specimen the descend- 
ing cross-vein from the first postnodal forks, the proximal branch ending against 
Cui which continues to the wing margin, while the distal branch reaches the 
wing margin distally to the termination of Cui, thus forming a four-sided cell. 
9. — Genae light brown. Labrum and rhinarium brown; labrum with a 
large median black area of indefinite pattern. Nasus black, a basal pale spot 
on either side. Frons in front brown. Frons above and vertex black, spotted 
as in the male and in addition a small spot in front of and against the median 
ocellus. Antenna with second joint black, remainder brown. Rear of head 
black, bordered with light dull yellow, this border only a little wider than the 
pale border in the cf . 
Thoracic colors similar to the male, only slightly duller. 
Abdominal segment one similar to the male, but the pale colors are j’ellow, 
not reddish, segments two to six above dark reddish brown, this brown bordered 
below and subapically with black, the subapical black separated from the narrow 
apical ring by a wide ring of yellow or reddish yellow ; on seven the homologous 
black areas are jiresent, but the dorsum is light reddi.sh or yellowish l)rown, 
unj)igmented like the preceding segments: the dark borders to the dorsal color 
on either side of two to seven do not reach the apex or base of each segment and 
on the posterior segments esjiecially are more or less sei)arated by jiale from the 
dorsal color; eight to ten black above, eight continuously, nine to ten except
