   covered 
  with 
  long, 
  white 
  hair 
  ;

  towards 
  the 
  apex 
  ; 
  the 
  stigma 
  black, 
  

   the

  fuscous. 
  Petiole

  The 
  rufous 
  colour 
  on 
  the 
  fore 
  legs 
  is 
  not 
  a 
  specific 
  

   character 
  in 
  this, 
  or 
  in 
  the 
  allied 
  species, 
  as 
  the 
  amount 
  of 
  

   it 
  varies 
  considerably. 
  The 
  same 
  remark 
  applies 
  to 
  the 
  

   quantity 
  of 
  rufous 
  or 
  brownish 
  in 
  the 
  colour 
  of 
  the 
  

   antennae. 
  There 
  is 
  no 
  trace 
  of 
  a 
  central 
  keel 
  on 
  the 
  

   median 
  segment 
  in 
  the 
  present 
  species.
