  tinge 
  ; 
  on 
  the 
  under 
  side 
  of 
  the 
  hinder 
  coxae 
  is 
  a 
  large 
  

   V-shaped 
  black 
  mark 
  ; 
  and 
  beyond 
  the 
  middle 
  of 
  the 
  

   hinder 
  femora 
  is 
  a 
  broad 
  black 
  line. 
  Wings 
  yellowish 
  

   hyaline, 
  a 
  broad, 
  oblique, 
  smoky 
  band 
  is 
  on 
  the 
  apex, 
  at 
  

   and 
  touching 
  the 
  base 
  of 
  the 
  stigma 
  and 
  reaching 
  to 
  the 
  

   bottom 
  of 
  the 
  discoidal 
  cellule 
  ; 
  at 
  the 
  apex 
  of 
  the 
  stigma 
  

   is 
  a 
  shorter 
  mark 
  of 
  similar 
  colour, 
  which 
  reaches 
  to 
  the 
  

   cubital 
  nervure, 
  but 
  not 
  touching 
  the 
  basal 
  corner 
  of 
  the 
  

   radial 
  cellule 
  ; 
  in 
  the 
  lower 
  part 
  of 
  the 
  podiscoidal 
  cellule 
  

   is 
  a 
  fainter 
  elongated 
  cloud, 
  narrowed 
  at 
  base 
  and 
  apex. 
  

   Abdomen 
  slightly 
  darker 
  towards 
  the 
  apex 
  (perhaps 
  

   through 
  discoloration) 
  ; 
  the 
  base 
  of 
  the 
  second 
  segment 
  

   above 
  forms 
  in 
  the 
  middle 
  a 
  large, 
  somewhat 
  pyriform, 
  

   raised 
  area 
  ; 
  the 
  narrowed 
  end 
  is 
  at 
  the 
  apex, 
  and 
  has, 
  

   on 
  either 
  side, 
  a 
  deep, 
  elongate 
  depression, 
  the 
  two 
  de- 
  

   pressions 
  being 
  separated 
  by 
  a 
  sharp 
  keel 
  ; 
  the 
  third, 
  

   fourth 
  and 
  fifth 
  segments 
  have 
  the 
  lateral 
  and 
  oblique 
  

   apical 
  transverse 
  depressions 
  distinct 
  ; 
  in 
  the 
  middle 
  of 
  

   the 
  third 
  segments 
  the 
  keel 
  is 
  formed 
  at 
  the 
  base 
  into 
  a 
  

   clearly 
  defined, 
  triangular, 
  raised 
  space. 
  The 
  ventral 
  

   surface 
  at 
  the 
  base 
  is 
  obscure 
  lemon-yellow.

  Similar 
  in 
  the 
  colour 
  of 
  the 
  body 
  and 
  wings 
  to 
  

   B. 
  V-macida, 
  but 
  may 
  be 
  known 
  from 
  it 
  at 
  once 
  by 
  the 
  

   form 
  of 
  the 
  area 
  on 
  the 
  second 
  abdominal 
  segment 
  ; 
  in 
  

   V-macula 
  it 
  is 
  elongate, 
  fully 
  twice 
  as 
  long 
  as 
  the 
  

   greatest 
  width, 
  and 
  with 
  the 
  apex 
  conical 
  ; 
  in 
  the 
  present 
  

   species 
  it 
  is 
  hardly 
  longer 
  than 
  it 
  is 
  broad, 
  with 
  the 
  

   apex 
  distinctly 
  triangular 
  ; 
  the 
  depression 
  at 
  the 
  base 
  is 
  

   broader 
  and 
  without 
  a 
  keel. 
  

  

  Antennas 
  black, 
  distinctly 
  longer
