small ones), especially on the front part, and the large facets extend 

 upwards to the vertex and downwards to and rather beyond the junc- 

 tion of the eyes, while the small facets do not extend in a zone up along 

 the back margin though the contrast in size is not so conspicuous there ; 

 the dividing line across the eyes is hardly undulation but runs nearly 

 straight across the eye to the zone of small facets. 



Thorax rather large and slightly longer than wide, deep reddish 

 brown or blackish brown, clothed with yellowish brown tomentum and 

 long suberect dense blackish brown pubescence, somewhat shining, 

 with five very inconspicuous brown or yellowish brown stripes which 

 hardly extend behind the suture ; the pubescence grows up very 

 slightly longer towards the anterior border (though much sparser) and 

 the sides, while the pubescence on the interval between the mesonotum 

 and scutellum becomes much denser and more conspicuous ; humeri 

 conspicuously yellowish, covered with much longer brown pubescence ; 

 praealar calli somewhat conspicuous and more yellowish, with a rather 

 dense blackish fringe of long somewhat bristly hairs about the lower 

 margin ; postalar calli more or less yellowish brown about the half, 

 with a much longer dull brown tuft on the posterior margin, the same 

 but shorter one on the upper base of the wing ; scutellum triangular 

 with the angle somewhat roundish, dull reddish brown or blackish 

 brown, paler towards the posterior end, covered with longer and denser 

 rather black pubescence all over the surface. Pleurae reddish brown 

 or blackish brown, obscured by yellowish brown grey tomentum, and 

 covered with denser and longer blackish pubescence which causes the 

 darker colour, and which grows up much longer and much denser on 

 the upper part ; on the postero-upper margin of the mespleurae, and 

 on the upper margins of the ptero- and meta-plurae, there are long 

 conspicuous tufts of shaggy and dark brown hairs. 



Wings slightly shorter than the thorax and the abdomen together, 

 quite clear, with the veins yellowish brown but the costal and discal 

 veins more or less blackish, stigma hardly apparent and pale yellow ;
