longest on front part of eye, shorter, rather sparser and paler 

 below and behind, but no dark band visible. Antenna) with basal 

 joint lon^ij, ratlier ferruginous ; 2ntl joint dark brown, about 

 two-thirds the length of 1st ; 3rd joint dark brown and nearly so 

 long as first two together, about as thick as end of 2nd joint for 

 half its length, then gradually tapering to a moderate ponit, arista 

 not quite so long as 3rd joint, blackish and moderately thick on 

 basal quartei", then not conspicuously white but slightly brownish- 

 white and ending in a very sharp point, the basal antennal joint 

 with unusually conspicuous bristly pubescence on end three- 

 quarters above, and on end half beneath ; 2nd joint with 

 very minute, hardly noticeable pubescence. Thorax dark aeneous, 

 appearing darker behind because of black pubescence, on the disc 

 may be traced with diliioulty a broad middle blacker stripe and 

 apparently four more broad lines, the two outer ones on each side 

 connected in front just above the suture. Pubescence fairly 

 dense but not very long except at sides and nearly erect on tlie 

 disc, brownish-grey on all fore part but black on all hind part, 

 becoming long and rather conspicuous on and about postalar calli. 

 iScutellum moderately bright aeneous, large, rather inflated and 

 semicircular, pubescence round margin forming a long conspicuous 

 whitish fringe, but on disc not quite so long and tinged with 

 brown. Abdomen much spoilt by damp, pubescence on two basal 

 segments long, pale brownish on 1st segment (almost whitish at 

 sides, similar to that round margin of scutellum, but rusty on 

 disc), black and conspicuous on all liiid segment (but rusty on disc), 

 erect, abundant and whitish-yellow on 3rd and 4tli segments. 

 I think the 1st segment is deep black, and that there is on the 

 2nd segment well after tlie aeneous base a broad transverse deep 

 black band which is extended down the middle to the hind margin. 

 JJelly aeneous with rather abundant brownish-orange pubescence. 

 Le(is orange-red with nearly the basal half of femora indeter- 

 minately black, tarsi blackish after most of basal joint, the last 

 three joints of tarsi appear to be a little dilated. Teniora all with 

 abundant greyish-white pubescence, but front pair with a few 

 inconspicuous black liairs behind above. Front tibiae behind on 

 more than tip half with a conspicuous whitish fringe which occurs 

 (though much less conspicuous) on middle tibiae, hind tibiae also 

 with some inconspicuous short whitish pubescence about the 

 middle. Winr/s rather tinged witli brownish about the base and 

 especially about the middle and on the stigma, discal cross-vein 

 before one-quarter the length of discal cell, upper marginal cross- 

 vein witli a rounded angle. Alar scpuiuuo blacliisli-brown with 

 fringes of the same colour, thoracal squama; more orange-brown 

 with largi' conspicuous fringi's of the same colour. llalteres 

 orange.
