 basalilus 2-i segmcjiti fasciisq2ie j-i et /[.-i fnlvo-aiweis. ? . 



Long. 10 mm. 



Hab. Ceylon ( Yerbury). 



The .scape of the antennaj and the second and third 

 joint.s rufou.s ; the scape sparsely covered with pale hair. 

 Head black; the lower part of the orbits (broadly behind), 

 the antennal tubercles, and the face, red ; the base of the 

 mandibles broadly rufous ; the palpi testaceous; the head 

 above the antcnn;u closely rui;"osely punctured, and 

 sparsely covered with long black hair. Thorax quadran-

 two large oval marks (broader than long) of golden- 

 fulvous pubescence ; and the whole of the third and fourth 

 segments is similarly coloured ; the pygidial area is 

 closely, longitudinally striated, except on the apex. 



This species is very closely related to J/, soror Sauss., 

 with which it agrees in the coloration of the abdomen, 

 but may be easily separated from it by the black head 

 and thorax, and by the scape and the basal two joints of 

 the flagellum of the antennae being rufous.
