Abdomen sublinear, with the aciculate second segment not broader

This species has much the facies of Tarytia JJavo-orbitalis, but 

 differs to an appreciable extent both in colour and sculpture ; the 

 black base of the bright red abdominal segments is distinctive.

5 . A pale flavous .species with the mandibular teeth, scrobes, 

 ocelli, three mesonotal stripes, basal metanotal area, prosternal 

 and mesopleural spots, mesosternal and nietapleural lines, scutellar 

 fovea, and frenum laterally, base of all the abdominal segments 

 and centre of the first two, basal segment beneath, terebral 

 valvulte, base of hind femora and of both their trochanteral joints
