uear the apex in the middle, the iipex itself smooth. Scutellu m, 

 except round the edges, strongly punctured, the punctures 

 clearly separated. Post-scutellum smooth. Metanotum closely, 

 rugosely punctured ; the petiolar area and centre of areola 

 smooth. The posterior median area strongly closely trans- 

 versely striated ; on eitherside is a broad, smooth oblique keel. 

 Pro- and mesopleurae closely, strongly punctured, smooth in 

 the centre ; the metapleurte strongly, closely longitudinally 

 punctured. First abdominal segment smooth, the post-petiole 

 sparsely and weakly longitudinally striated ; the 2"^^, 3'^ and 

 basal half of the 4^^^ are closely punctured and with a broad, 

 striated band down the centre. The labrum projects (it may 

 be turned back and thus may not be easily seen in some 

 specimens) and the clypeus appears to have a minute tubercle 

 in the middle of the apex. 



The mark on the mesopleurae may be narrowed in the middle 

 above ; these is a slight stump on the disco-cubital nervure. 

 This species may be separated from. the type of the genus thus: 



Abduminal segments witli continuous lines; the central basal line 

 on the metanotum not narrowed in the middle, the apical fourth ul' 

 hind femora black; tlie basal part of hind femora rufous, robusta Cam. 



Abdominal segments with widely separated spots, the central basal 

 yellow line on the metanotum narrowed in tlie middle, the apical 

 fourth of the hind femora black; the basal part of hind tibiae yellow.
