sparse row of rather long blackish bristly hairs on the inner margin 

 of the shining black bare space which is rather broad and transversely 

 striotate but entirely not hollowed ; pubescence on the posterior femora 

 all whitish, rather short and depressed, but about the basal half there 

 are somewhat longer and not depressed similar coloured hairs, especial- 

 ly on the under side ; pubescence on the front tibiae all depressed, 

 yellow but on the dorsal surface with black hairs intermixed, on the 

 middle tibiae almost all depressed and yellow, but on the dorsal surface 

 there are erect and rather long black hairs scattered, on the hind 

 tibiae almost all black less depressed but with depressed shorter whitish 

 hairs intermixed about the ventral half, the black pubescence on the 

 dorsal surface forming a somewhat conspicuous fringe ; front tibiae and 

 tarsi with the conspicuous but scattered touch-hairs, but on the former 

 very few and only at the apex ; all tarsi with reddish yellow soles, 

 and with deep orange yellow pulvilli.

 together, and about as wide as the thorax, somewhat parallel-sided 

 with round extremity ; dull black, clothed with a greyish brown 

 tomentum above and with whitish one beneath ; the hind margins of 

 the both dorsal and ventral segments very narrowly but conspicuously 

 pale brownish, the lateral margin of dorsal segments more or less pale 

 yellowish brown excepting of the first segment ; pubescence on the 

 dorsum blackish, intermixed with golden-yellow hairs at the median 

 line through the five basal segments, and at the hind margins of from 

 second to fifth segments, this golden-yellow pubescence being not con- 

 spicuous in the type specimen but apparently recognisable ; pubescence 

 at the sides of the first and second dorsal segments greyish yellow 

 and long, and at the sides of the rest segments mainly blackish but 

 with a few yellowish hairs ; pubescence on the ventre very short,
