148 Mr. Cameron on 



Antennae with a silvery pile; the third and fourth joints 

 subeqiial. Head closely punctured ; the face, cheeks, and 

 clypeus densely covered with long silvery pubescence ; eyes 

 almost parallel, at the top separated by the length of the 

 second, third and fourth joints united. Ocellar region 

 raised, roundish, surrounded by a furrow ; hinder ocelli 

 as in G. Wroiightoni ; a narrow indistinct furrow runs down 

 from the front ocellus. Clypeus with a broad truncated 

 projection in the middle at the apex ; the middle keeled. 

 Mandibles reddish, black at the base. Thorax finely and 

 closely punctured ; the metanotum finely transversely 

 striated, its apex with an oblique slope and furrowed in the 

 middle. The pleurae and the edge of the pronotum are 

 densely covered with silvery pubescence ; the pubescence 

 being especially long on metapleurse ; the tubercles are white. 

 Abdomen aciculate, the segments broadly edged with 

 cinereous pile ; pygidial area densely covered with fulvo- 

 golden stiff pubescence. The legs are pilose : the knees, a 

 broad line on the tibife behind, the apex of the tarsi and 

 the greater part of the claws are white. The second 

 recurrent nervure is joined to the first before the latter is 

 united to the cubital ; the second transverse cubital nervure 

 is not so sharply elbowed as in the preceding species.
