Very variable in colour ; specimens I possess from Ajaccio, 

 taken by the Eev. T. A. jMarshall, are black, with the head and 

 thorax only s])arsely marked with red ; but most of the Indian 

 examples I have seen are bright testaceous witli only the abdomen 

 infuscate, while one male has the Avhole scutellum and most of 

 the black-marked thorax clear flavous, though no structural 

 distinctions are traceable. Wrougliton took an almost entirely
