It is probable that in a recent specimen (that 



from which this description was drawn, having 



apparently been some time disclosed) the hirsuties 



of the body of this species would be of a lemon 



colour. It differs from the preceding in the form 



of its abdomen, and of the joints of its antennae, 



and only one abdominal segment is black.
