pubescence ; two spots at the base of the mesonotum, two smaller

2 . Head and thorax densely and not very coarsely, abdomen 

 more finely and sparsely punctured ; punctures on the apical 

 segment above very close and minute, giving it an opaque appear- 

 ance ; clypeus slightly convex and densely pubescent ; scutellum 

 short, narrow, very slightly arched posteriorly, nearly transverse, 

 the lateral teeth short and blunt ; apical abdominal segment 

 strongly convex for two-thirds of its length from base, the apical 

 third suddenly narrowed, acute at apex and bearing a medial longi- 

 tudinal carina above ; the ventral plate very slightly longer than the 

 dorsal. Black ; the head in front, clypeus and cheeks, the sides 

 of the thorax, and narrow, transverse, uninterrupted bands on the 

 apical margins of segments 1-5 of the abdomen with dense snow- 

 white pubescence ; wings slightly fuscous, hyaline at base. 



d" similar; the abdomen more densely and finely punctured, the 

 basal three segments with narrow but deep transverse grooves, the 

 apical margins of segments 1-5 narrowly recurved, the apical 

 segment deeply grooved at apex and armed with four teeth, and a 

 lateral tooth on the 5th ventral segment.

5 . Head and thorax coarsely cribrately punctured, the poste- 

 rior margin of the scutellum narrowly smooth ; abdomen sparsely 

 and finely punctured, the punctures most dense on the basal 

 segment; clypeus slightly convex, very large, transverse ante- 

 riorly ; scutellum comparatively short, rounded posteriorly, the 

 lateral teeth short and acute ; abdomen sharply conical, at- 

 tenuated at apex ; the dorsal plate of the apical segment acute, 

 medially carinated towards apex, with a depression on each side ; 

 ventral plate projecting beyond dorsal plate, extremely narrow 

 and fine. Black ; the clypeus, face, cheeks, sides of the thorax, 

 and legs with a thin white pubescence, a pubescent white spot 

 behind the tegula of each wing and another at the lateral basal 

 angle of the scutellum ; wings dark fuscous beyond the 1st cubital 

 cell, hyaline at base. 



d similar ; the apical segment divided by a deep groove at apex 

 and armed with six teeth, the 5th segment with a sharp lateral spine.
