curved, nearly equal in width for the whole length, but the apical one- 

 third very slightly narrowed towards the tip which is not pointed, 

 with rather numerous stout depressed black pubescence all over the 

 upper and outer surfaces but the inner surface quite bare ; first joint 

 about one-third the length of the second and slightly narrowed api- 

 cally and about as broad as the second joint, clothed with a greywish 

 tomentum and with long pale yellowish hairs except for the inner side 

 which is almost bare. Proboscis pale brown, stout, about as long as 

 the palpi, with a rather numerous long erect yellowish brown pu- 

 bescence behind the stalk, and the sucker-flaps large, about half as long 

 as the proboscis, with a few shorter pubescence beneath. 



Thorax longer than wide, somewhat quadrate with rounded 

 angles, blackish, obscured by a yellowish brown tomentum, somewhat 

 greyish at the anterior part, with three very inconspicuous narrow 

 stripes which are not extending behind to the posterior margin, clothed 

 with short blackish pubescence intermixed with golden yellow hairs ; 

 the sides slightly pale, with the reddish brown suture ; humeri pale 

 greyish yellow, with rather long greyish hairs ; praealar calli dark 

 grey with a few long blackish bristle-like hairs ; postalar calli somewhat 

 paler than the sides of the disc, furnished with a very few short black 

 bristle-like hairs ; just above the wing-bases rather broadly reddish brown. 

 Scutellum triangular with rounded posterior angle, concolorous with 

 the disc of the thorax, covered with rather numerous sloping black 

 hairs intermixed with golden hairs. Pleurae almost evenly clothed 

 with rather sparse long pale yellowish white hairs which become 

 slightly denser and much more conspicuous above, on the prothorax 

 and metapleurae, and on the upper-hind margin of the mesopleurae 

 there are conspicuous yellowish tufts ; the angulated elevation between 

 the notum and pleurae not very distinct, yellowish. 



Wings longer than the thorax and abdomen together, greyish, 

 with yellowish costal and subcostal cells, and much darker at the 

 posterior border especially at the sides of the radial vein and of the upper
