 edge a yellow band cut deeply into the form

Under-part of the body, black. Legs, 

 iron-yellow all through. Wings, slightly 

 bronzed at the tip. 



The above is a description of the female. 

 The male is unknown to me.

I dedicate this species to my daughter An- 

 tonia, whose assistance has often been of 

 great value to me in my entomological re- 

 searches.
