 patch of the similar but more abundant (rather dense) hairs extending 

 on each lateral stripe from the humeri almost to the postalar calli ; 

 a narrow brownish stripe between the notum and pleurae extending 

 from just below the humeri to the wing-bases and bearing fairly 

 abundant long orange yellow pubescence with a few conspicuons long 

 black hairs. Scutellum large, blackish but obscured by a grey tomentum 

 excepting of the basal half brownish dusted ; pubescence much more 

 numerous than in the thorax, rather longer and yellowish. Pleurae 

 blackish, much more obscured by a greyish tomentum than the notum ;

 the posterior upper part of the sterno-pleurae densely covered with a 

 yellowish tomentum, and three formers bearing a dense very con-

 very scattered, yellowish. 



Wings as in the temale, but the basal hyaline band is gradually 

 narrowed because the basal blackish marking expands to more than 

 the basal half of the upper basal cell and to more than the basal thirds 

 of the second basal cell ; centre of the discal cell sometimes paler. 



I^egs as in the female but generally darker and much more 

 hairy ; fore coxae covered with denser longer yellowish grey hairs,

 fore femora furnished with fairly abundant black pubescence which 

 becomes very long at the outer and upper surface, and which is very 

 short and is almost inconspicuous at the inner surface, there is no 

 yellowish one ; middle femora covered with numerous long black 

 pubescence which becomes very short at the upper margin, and about 

 the base of the outer surface there are numerous long yellowish hairs
