much denser and sloping ; middle femora slightly obscured by a 

 grey tomenturn, and bearing rather short dense black pubescence which 

 is intermixed with some short whitish hairs about the outer basal 

 half; hind femora also slightly obscured by a grey tomenturn, and 

 bearing short rather thick black pubescence which becomes much 

 longer and white on the underside especially about the basal twe- 

 thirds ; front tibiae about the apical fourth black, the colour narrowly 

 extending near the base, along the underside, pubescence on the white 

 part somewhat long, thin, sloping, and white, with very few very 

 scattered black hairs intermixed about the middle two-fifths, on the 

 black apical part wholly black, and on the dark under side there is 

 a dense very short fringe of sloping black hairs which become paler 

 towards the base ; two pairs of the posterior tibiae with the about 

 apical sixth blackish brown, the pubescence being short and white 

 with a very few (less than 10) black hairs intermixed, but on the

 ish black and unequal ; all the tarsi black but the posterior two pairs 

 not deeper, covered with tiny black bristles, the touch-hairs on the

 claws blackish. 



Abdomen wider than the thorax and about as broad as the 

 head, and about as long as the head and thorax (including the scutel- 

 lum) together, nearly parallel-sided but about the junction of two basal 

 segments slightly broader and three apical segments forming a blunt 

 angle posteriority. Dorsum slightly shining black and slightly covered 

 with a brown tomenturn, and with short dense depressed black pubes- 

 cence which becomes white on the whitish grey bands and the first 

 segment on the sides there is a large whitish grey dusted and white-
