apical band, third with paler basal band. First antennal segment 

 brown with four or five narrow yellowish annuli; second segment 

 unhanded; third and fourth grayish on account of the pilosity. 

 Forelegs and fore tarsi blackish brown; coxa with inconspicuous red- 

 dish yellow spots basally; femur spotted with reddish j^ellow, spotting 

 more conspicuous on apical half; tibia with two incomplete reddish- 

 yellow annuli. Middle legs dark brown; femur with five reddish- 

 yellow annuli; tibia with two basal annuli. Hindlegs dark brown; 

 femur without annuli, with faint yellowish spots; tibia with five or 

 six annuli. Thoracic segments with pale anterolateral areas. 



Sparse, short, appressed pilosity over body, more concentrated at 

 base of interantennal spine, on pale anterolateral spots of thorax; 

 more erect and longer pilosity toward apices of middle and hind tibia. 



Head distinctly but sparsely granulose. Interantennal spine 

 straight. 



Thoracic segments sparsely granulate; lengths of segments: 4.6, 4.6, 

 3 .0 mm. Claws of foretarsi two, inner one shorter. First spine of fore- 

 femur at nearly three times its length from tip of trochanter. Basal 

 half of forefemur gradually thickened to first spine. Armature of 

 forefemur with inner row consisting of long setae arising from wartlike 

 bases. 



Abdomen on dorsal aspect parallel sided from apex of third segment 

 to middle of seventh. Apical angles of second to fourth terga not 

 produced, last two very slighth' produced laterally; hind margin of 

 terga with small blackish wart, the last one more elevated. Second 

 to sixth terga finely and transversely corrugated; hind margin of sixth 

 slightly convex; seventh equal in length to sixth, surpassing claspers 

 by twice their visible length, transversely corrugated, longitudinally 

 ridged, apical fourth pointed (fig. 36). Hind margins of first to fifth 

 sterna straight, slightly swollen at either side of median line; sixth 

 sternum medianly concave behind and convex laterally; seventh 

 sternum with V-shaped median notch; eighth slightly convex (fig. 

 72). Sixth sternum slightly over twice as long as seventh. Eighth 

 sternum visible its entire width. Spiracle pedunculate. Hypo- 

 pygium opening upward; not much thicker than rest of abdomen 

 (fig. 23); apical process perpendicular, slightly receding from apical 

 margin of hypopygium, exposed, short, constricted near base, and 

 ending in a sharp point (fig. 108). Claspers short, fitting in con- 

 cavity of upper lateral margin of hypopygium, leaving exposed the 

 apical process of the hypopygium, slightly wider basally, apex pointed 

 and turned cephalad. 



Overall body length 30.0 mm. 



This species, in general appearance, seems close to productilis, 

 monense, and varicornis; however, the mesothorax being longer than
