 to a large mark covering the mesosternum, and broad bands, 

 dilated laterally, on the apices of the abdominal segments, 

 lemon-yellow ; the ventral surface, except the basal segments 

 and the sides, broadly, of the 2"^! and 3^'^, of a paler yellow. 

 Four front legs yellow ; the tarsi and the tibiae to a less

Face and clypeus somewhat strongly, sparsely punctured ; 

 the upper half of front not so strongly, but more closely and 

 regularly punctured. Mesonotum strongly, closely punctured ; 

 the middle lobe more closely than the lateral ; the scutellum 

 is as strongly, but not so closely punctured ; the metanotum 

 is still more strongly punctured. Pleurae closely punctured, 

 the puncturation becoming stronger towards the apex ; the 

 central depression on the propleurae stoutly striated, the apex 

 in the middle more irregularly striated. Abdomen closely 

 punctured, strongly at the base, becoming weaker towards 

 the apex. 



The areolet is small, longer than wide, of equal width, ang- 

 led in the middle where the recurrent nervure is received; the 

 discocubital broken by a stump ; the transverse median recei- 

 ved behind the basal ; the transverse median in hind wings
