but longer than the former; basal joint not much larger or stoute'f 

 than the second, pale yellowish but very slightly tinged with brownish 

 at the apex of the lower surface, and bearing conspicuous long blackish 

 erect hairs all over but stout the middle ol the upper margin with a 

 very few but distinctly longer pale yellow (in some lights rather shin- 

 ing) hairs ; second joint with similar but shorter mostly suberect and 

 much numerous hairs (of course without yellowish ones), shorter than 

 the first, dull brownish, and with two apparent constrictions ; third 

 joint deep black but dull, about as long as the two basal joints together, 

 somewhat subulate but slightly thinner about its base, and rather upturn- 

 ed at its tip, the first annutation much longer than the four remainings' 

 and pale brown at the basal half, the apical annulation much shorter 

 than two preceding ones together and with the blunt apex but there is 

 a very minute process. Eyes bare ; facets on nearly the lower half 

 smaller than those on the upper part, but with no sharply contrasted- 

 division the semicircular boundary line, and on the back part the small 

 facets extend upwards a little but not nearly to the vertex ; eyes in 

 death brownish black but on the part occupied by the large facets 

 pale greenish yellow, excepting of the posterior margin brownish ; two 

 transverse reddish brown bands on the yellownish part when viewed 

 from above, of which the hind one is much longer and is connected 

 with a small somewhat triangular similar colored spot about the upper 

 boundary of the brownish part, and the fore one of which is about 

 half as long as the hind but broader, both the bands parallel to the 

 back margin of the eye and far apart from the frontal margin ; ocelli 

 pale ruby in colour. 



Thorax black, the middle part slightly obscured by a rosy brown 

 tomentum, moderately shining, with two narrow greyish stripes on the 

 disc, the stripes being a little broader than those on the preceding 

 species and somewhat indistinct but reaching to the posterior margin 

 of the mesonotum, the lateral stripes on the disc orange yellow, ex- 

 truding through the whole length, being gradually narrower posteriorly;
