about three-fourth as long as the frontal margin, the outer margin 

 very strongly curved outwards, the top angle about go° and the 

 frontal angle wholly i 3 5 °. 



Thorax stout, broader than the length, somewhat quadrate, 

 blackish or brownish obscured by a greyish yellow tomentum, with 

 five indistinct yellowish grey stripes of which the middle one is very 

 narrow, not reaching to the posterior margin, and second pair is 

 much conspicuous, equal in width, and slightly oblique inwards but 

 not touching each other, while the lateral pair is broadest but less 

 distinct and interrupted at the suture after which they are suddenly 

 narrowed, on the inside of the narrowed lateral stripes the disc is 

 slightly reddish, the colour usually extending below to the postalar 

 calli ; pubescence on the disc black, which becomes somewhat paler 

 on the front vertical part, and which is intermixed with rather numer- 

 ous short depressed golden yellow or deep yellow hairs on the stripes 

 and about the suture ; humeri pale yellowish brown, dusted with ashy 

 grey, and covered with rather long yellowish brown or yellowish grev 

 hairs which are sometimes intermixed with a few short rather stout 

 black pubescence on the upper half; praealar calli distinct and somewhat 

 paler than the disc, covered with rather sparse black and yellow hairs 

 but on the lower half there is a conspicuous black tuft of longer erect 

 hairs which slightly extend on the interval between the humeri and 

 the praealar calli ; postalar calli clothed with rather sparse short black 

 and golden yellow or deep yellow hairs, and the postero-outer margin 

 furnished with a long conspicuous golden yellow or rich yellow tuft of 

 slightly curved and somewhat shaggy hairs which becomes shorter 

 behind, the similar but apparently shorter tuft on the upper base of 

 the wing. Scutellum rather large, in the colour similar to the thorax, 

 co ered with a grey or greyish tomentum and with numerous black 

 pubescence, at the margin there are dense though short golden yellow 

 or deep yellow hairs. Pleurae densely covered with a greyish yellow 

 or grey tomentum, and bearing numerous long yellowish grey soft
