This species is related to T. atra, but is distinguished by the yel- 

 lowish gray pollinose bands giving the abdomen an annulate appear- 

 ance. The head is also characteristically dark, and although the legs 

 are mainly black, the basal two-fifths of the hind femur is yellow. 



Thecophora simillima (de Meijere) (Bijdr. tot de Dierkunde, vol. 18, 

 afl. 17, p. 103, 1904) of Java, is described as similar to T. atra, but the 

 white pollinose abdominal bands are very narrow and limited, and 

 the second and thud antennal segments are equal.
