half (except about the base) but the lower half nearly bare and on 

 the basal half of the outside there are rather conspicuous fine pale 

 hairs intermixed ; second joint very small and about one-thirds as long 

 as the first joint, with a rather long and thin spine-like dorsal process on 

 the apical margin near which is a complete circlet of tiny black bristles ; 

 third joint with extreme base more or less yellowish brown, wholly twice 

 as long as the basal two joints together or about three times as long as 

 its broadest part ; the broad basal annulation of this joint as long as the 

 style-like portion and about one and a half times as long as its 

 broadest part, near the base with the large triangular dorsal hump 

 crowned with a very few inconspicuous black bristles ; the style-like 

 portion rather stout and short, with the apical annulation short 

 and conical, each of the annulation bearing one or two very minute 

 inconspicuous pubescence near the tip. Eyes bare, in profile apparently 

 deeper than long, nearly regular oval, and in death deep purplish 

 black with a coppery shimmer in a certain light but there is no 

 markings or bands ; when seen from the front deeper than wide, the 

 frontal margin about as long as the facial margin which is very slightly 

 convex and is forming a rounded lower angle about no° with the 

 outer margin, the frontal angle about 140% and the the upper angle 

 about 90 , while the outer angle very largely and evenly rounded. 



Thorax somewhat roundish, brown. Dorsum covered with a 

 greyish tomentum, and with five broad conspicuous grey stripes of 

 which the middle one is narrowest and extends below to the suture, 

 and the next two are more conspicuous and extend below to the 

 posterior margin, but after the suture gradually approaching from one 

 another leaving only a narrow rather distinct brownish linear interval 

 which becomes slightly broader at the hind margin, and on the suture 

 they are broadened outwardly and therefore connected with the lateral 

 stripes there, while the lateral stripes are broadest and extend from 

 the humeri to the postalar calli passing on the praealar call! and they 

 have a rather faint pale brownish linear spot on the part between the
