stout, shorter than the depth of the head, blackish brown, slightly 

 shining on the sucker- flaps, and bearing very short pubescence; palpi 

 shining yellowish, stout, bearing very fine brownish pubescence, shorter 

 than the two-third of the proboscis and moderately dilated before the 

 middle. Eyes with the facets all "equal ; in death purplish black, some- 

 what coppery according to varying lights ; marginal band and isolated 

 spots in the specimens I have examined obscure, but these are nearly similar 

 to those in the preceding species ; eyes in life brilliant green somewhat 

 coppery according to varying lights ; occipital and hind margins with 

 a dark purplish black border which is very slightly notched about the 

 middle, and this border is broadest about the angle above the jowl ; 

 rest of the eye with four purplish brown isolated spots, of which the 

 three near the frontal and facial margins are about equidistant from 

 each other in their inner ends ; the top spot transverse (when seen 

 from above), and the largest of the three ; the lowest spot rather near 

 the bottom part of the hind band and transversely oblique (when seen 

 from front), this spot being nearly as large as the upper spot and 

 reaching the eye-margin ; the middle spot smallest and somewhat 

 trapezoid with a sharp inner angle and blackish ; the isolated fourth 

 one below the middle of the eye not spot but rather a band parallel 

 with the occipital band from the front of the upper angle of the eye 

 to below the middle of the eye, this band being narrow, gradually 

 broadened below and with a sharp inner angle before the lower end. 



Thorax robust, dull brownish black, slightly shining, with two 

 distinct median grey white tomentose stripes which are separated by a 

 well-defined black line and extend throughout the length of the 

 mesonotum ; the lateral stripes of the mesonotum conspicuous, moder- 

 ately broad, greyish yellow, extending from the pale greyish brown 

 tomentose humeri near the posterior end of the post-alar calli which 

 are usually brownish ; scutellum black (in some specimens dull reddish 

 brown at the sides), densely covered with a greyish tomentum which 

 is usually brownish at the middle of the base of the scutellum ; pubes-
