  The 
  pronotum 
  above 
  and 
  laterally, 
  and 
  the 
  

   tubercles 
  are 
  yellowish 
  ; 
  the 
  mesonotum 
  in 
  front 
  narrowly 
  

   and 
  more 
  or 
  less 
  of 
  the 
  mesopleurae 
  are 
  blackish 
  ; 
  the 
  apex 
  

   of 
  median 
  segment 
  also 
  inclining 
  to 
  blackish. 
  Abdomen 
  

   minutely 
  punctured 
  ; 
  a 
  large 
  ovate 
  macula 
  on 
  the 
  sides 
  of 
  

   the 
  second 
  segment 
  ; 
  the 
  greater 
  part 
  of 
  the 
  third 
  and 
  

   fourth,

  the

  of 
  the 
  fifth,

   Pygidial 
  area 
  punctured. 
  The 
  second 
  cubital 
  cellule 
  is 
  

   very 
  narrow 
  at 
  the 
  top, 
  not 
  being 
  much 
  more 
  than 
  half 
  the 
  

   length 
  of 
  the 
  part 
  bounded 
  by 
  the 
  recurrent 
  nervures,and 
  a 
  

   little 
  more 
  than 
  the 
  space 
  between 
  the 
  second 
  recurrent 
  and 
  

   the 
  second 
  transverse 
  cubital 
  nervures; 
  the 
  first 
  recurrent 
  

   nervure 
  is 
  received 
  a 
  little 
  beyond 
  the 
  middle 
  of 
  the 
  cellule.

  A 
  specimen 
  from 
  Barrackpore 
  is 
  no 
  doubt 
  this 
  species 
  — 
  at 
  

   least 
  it 
  agrees 
  with 
  Smith's 
  description 
  so 
  far 
  as 
  it 
  goes. 
  It 
  

   is 
  very 
  closely 
  allied 
  to 
  ^. 
  orientalis 
  ; 
  from 
  which, 
  apart 
  from 
  

   the 
  difference 
  in 
  the 
  coloration 
  of 
  the 
  body, 
  it 
  may 
  be 
  

   known 
  by 
  the 
  eyes 
  being 
  wider 
  separated, 
  and 
  not, 
  or 
  

   hardly, 
  converging 
  towards 
  the 
  clypeus 
  ; 
  the 
  ocelli 
  are 
  more 
  

   widely 
  separated 
  from 
  the 
  eyes, 
  and 
  not 
  so 
  much 
  from 
  each 
  

   other 
  ; 
  the 
  radial 
  and 
  second 
  and 
  third 
  cubital 
  cellules 
  are 
  

   occupied 
  by 
  a 
  deep 
  black 
  cloud 
  : 
  the 
  second 
  cubital 
  cellule 
  

   is 
  wider 
  at 
  the 
  top 
  : 
  the 
  first 
  recurrent 
  nervure 
  is 
  received 
  

   before 
  the 
  middle 
  : 
  the 
  apex 
  of 
  the 
  median 
  segment 
  is 
  not 
  

   so 
  deeply 
  or 
  so 
  widely 
  sulcated 
  ; 
  and 
  the 
  wings 
  have 
  a 
  much 
  

   more 
  yellowish 
  tinge, 
  the 
  nervures 
  and 
  base 
  of 
  stigma 
  being 
  

   lighter, 
  almost 
  rufous. 
  The 
  length 
  of 
  my 
  specimen 
  is 
  fully 
  

   one 
  inch.
