bands are visible) ; the frontal triangle is reduced to the wrinkled 
supra-antennal area; the eight small, silvery dots on the jowls near 
the eyes, four on each side, ate quite distinct. Thorax and scu- 
tellum as in bullata, but the pleure showing traces of scanty 
golden tomentum; squamule black and black-fringed; halteres 
dark brown. Abdomen, as regards shape and bull, the same as 
in bullata; the second segment is covered on the sides with a 
light, silvery, shining tomentum ; the third and fourth show in the 
middle, on each side of the median bulla, which appears as though 
encircled by a velvety-black border, a large patch of dense golden 
tomentum; the lateral bulle seem to be less prominent and are 
partly hidden below the golden tomentum; the sides of the second, 
third, and fourth segments are also fringed with rather long golden 
hairs; the velvety-black border around rhe middle Guberele on the 
second segment is very broad. Genitalia shining black and black- 
haired; venter shining black, with sparse but long yellow hairs. 
Legs as in bullata, but the femora seantily clothed with golden 
pollen. Wings with precisely the same pattern as in bullata, 
but the black band covering the middle cross-vein is distinctly 
narrower.

if very handsome species allied to the two preceding, but distin- 
guished by the predominant red colour of the head, abdomen, 
and femora and by the wings being almost hyaline basally, and 
having two abbreviated bi: ack bands in the middle. A’ short 
diagnosis of this species has already been given by me (Ann. Mus. 
Civ. Genova, (3) v. 1912,'p. 423). 
Head reddish yellow, the occiput towards its middle and the 
frons above dull blackish; frons almost bare, with scanty whitish
