 long hairs from behind the eyes and growing on the pronotum itself. Last

the lower extremity; when viewed from behind, notched at the extremity, and 

 more deeply so than in cruentifera. The valve in the male is long and orange

 notched ; the notch is double in cruentifera. Fore wings with the costal 

 margin bright orange nearly to the extremity of the wings, the remaining 

 veins fuscous, somewhat thickened and clouded at the marginal cells; basal 

 cell blackened ; membranes at base of both pairs of wings of the brightest 

 orange ; not blood-red as in cruentifera. Head entirely black ; in some of the 

 paratypes the antennae are marked with orange on the basal joint. Pronotum 

 entirely black in the type ; in the allotype it is very narrowly edged posteriorly 

 with red. Mesonotum red at the sides, otherwise black including the X. 

 Metanotum edged posteriorly with red. Tergum black with the first six 

 segments edged with red at extreme lower part of the sides only, segments 

 seven to nine edged completely on the posterior margin with red. Beneath the
