  seems 
  to 
  differ 
  from 
  it 
  in 
  too 
  many 
  points 
  of 
  colouration 
  

   and 
  structure 
  to 
  be 
  its 
  6 
  . 
  For 
  example, 
  the 
  supra-median 
  

   area 
  on 
  the 
  median 
  sesi^ment 
  here 
  is 
  rounder 
  and 
  com- 
  

   pletely 
  separated 
  from 
  the 
  base, 
  which 
  is 
  not 
  the 
  case 
  

   with 
  the 
  other 
  species; 
  it 
  is, 
  further, 
  fully 
  larger, 
  while 
  

   if 
  it 
  were 
  the 
  6 
  , 
  it 
  should 
  be 
  smaller. 
  

  

  Antennae 
  as 
  long 
  as 
  the 
  body, 
  the 
  scape 
  covered 
  with 
  

   long 
  fuscous 
  hair; 
  a 
  white 
  band 
  of 
  six 
  joints 
  beyond 
  the 
  

   middle. 
  Head 
  black; 
  strongly 
  punctured; 
  the 
  clypeus 
  

   with 
  only 
  a 
  few 
  punctures 
  on 
  its 
  apical 
  margin. 
  The 
  

   orbits, 
  except 
  at 
  the 
  top, 
  yellow, 
  the 
  inner 
  band 
  being 
  

   the 
  wider, 
  especially 
  at 
  the 
  bottom 
  ; 
  the 
  mandibles 
  broadly 
  

   yellow 
  in 
  the 
  middle

  fringed 
  densely 
  with 
  

   golden 
  hair. 
  Thorax 
  black; 
  the 
  edge 
  of 
  the 
  pronotum, 
  

   but 
  not 
  completely, 
  the 
  teguls, 
  tubercles, 
  and 
  scutellum 
  

   broadly 
  at 
  the 
  sides, 
  but 
  not 
  uniting 
  at 
  the 
  apex, 
  a 
  line 
  

   at 
  the 
  sides 
  in 
  front 
  of 
  it, 
  and 
  the 
  post-scutellum, 
  yellow. 
  

   Pro- 
  and 
  meso-thorax 
  closely 
  punctured 
  ; 
  the 
  scutellum' 
  

   thickly 
  covered 
  with 
  brownish 
  hair 
  ; 
  at 
  the 
  sides 
  of 
  the 
  

   post-scutellum 
  there 
  are 
  some 
  stout 
  keels. 
  The 
  median 
  

   segment 
  has 
  an 
  oblique 
  slope 
  at 
  the 
  apex; 
  the 
  central 
  

   area 
  complete, 
  rounded 
  at 
  the 
  base, 
  almost 
  transverse 
  at 
  

   the 
  apex 
  ; 
  the 
  other 
  nervures 
  are 
  not 
  so 
  clearly 
  detined 
  ; 
  

   the 
  apex 
  is 
  transversely 
  striated.

  the 
  fore 
  coxae 
  yellowish 
  white 
  at 
  the 
  apex. 
  

   The 
  areolet 
  is 
  much 
  narrowed 
  at 
  the 
  top 
  ; 
  the 
  transverse 
  

   cubital 
  nervures 
  almost 
  meeting 
  there. 
  Petiole 
  black, 
  a 
  

   yellow 
  band 
  across 
  its 
  apex 
  ; 
  the 
  second
