Pezomachus pilosus, n. sp. 



Pitchy-black, with diffuse, longish, bristly hairs ; base of antennae, 

 upper surface of the thorax, and first segment of abdomen, lighter ; 

 legs red ; aculeus barely so long as first abdominal segment. 



? . Head dull black, wider than thorax ; aiitennse stoutish, thicker beyond the 

 middle than at base and apex, joints three and four subequal, two to five yellowish- 

 red ; prothorax entirely black ; mesothorax with upper part pitchy-red, with a 

 blackish spot in the middle ; metathorax slightly ridged each side, in the middle 

 smooth and somewhat excavated; its upper part reddish, with sides and sloping part 

 black. First abdominal segment rather long, gradually widened behind, pitchy-red, 

 with a narrow black band just behind the projecting spiracles, which are situated 

 between the middle and posterior third. Abdomen shining piceous-black, with 



diffuse, long bristly hairs, between which the surface appears very finely areolated.

A very distinct species, recognisable by its bristly hairs which 



also clothe the thorax.
