 darker ; face yellowish, lateral keels ver}- narrowly blackish- 

 brown ; antennae, labium legs, sterna, &c., brownish-yellow, the 

 fore and middle tibiae obscurely biannulate with fuscous ; apices

 the clavus ; apical margin dark and often the subcostal also. 



Male : sternites more or less ferruginous ; last segment deepl_\' 

 rotundately emarginate ; pygophor elongate, very sinuate in pro-

 tal styles contiguous inwardly for a third of their length, then 

 curving outwards and recurving, apices acute, nearly contiguous. 

 The entire male pygo])hor is very peculiar and very difficult to
