very fine pubescence which is more conspicuous than that of the other 

 species. Eyes in death unicolorous, deep purplish black with some 

 green shimmer in some light ; when seen from above the frontal 

 margin shorter than the hind margin which is straight, and the outer 

 margin moderately curved outwards especially at the posterior half, 

 the top angle about ioo", the frontal angle about 75 , and the outer 

 angle rounded and about 70 , in profile irregularity ovate and slightly 

 deeper than long, the frontal margin more curved than the posterior 

 margin but a little shorter, and the lower margin strongly convex, the 

 top angle about 8o° and roundish, the frontal and lower angles almost 

 always nearly evenly rounded ; when seen from front the facial margin 

 hardly straight and wholly three-fourth as long as the frontal margin, 

 and the outer margin almost evenly rounded strongly, the frontal 

 angle about 135 , the top angle about 95 , and the lower angle 

 roundish and about 120 



Thorax large, very slightly longer than wide, blackish, slightly 

 obscured by a greyish tomentum, with five rather broad yellowish 

 grey tomentose stripes of which the middle one is narrowest and does 

 not reach the posterior margin but extending just after the suture, die 

 next pair most conspicuous, and almost equal in width through the 

 whole length, and very slightly contracting behind, while the lateral 

 pair is most inconspicuous (though they are broadest) and extends 

 from the humeri to the upper bases of the wings, these lateral stripes 

 being united with the outer middle pair at their apical extremities ; 

 pubescence on the disc abundant, short, suberect, black, on the stripes 

 and about the suture intermixed with rather numerous more depressed 

 yellowish hairs which can only seen from the front and can be easily 

 rubbed out when the specimens are ill-treated, and on the apical 

 vertical part there are numerous tine though longer pale hairs ; humeri 

 conspicuously yellowish, covered with a greyish tomentum and with 

 long fine pale yellowish grey pubescence, and the posterior border 

 bearing a few stout conspicuous black hairs which are posteriorily
