[Vol. XIII, 



Head. — Lower and anterior surfaces yellow, as far as the 

 level of the anterior ocellus, with a black line running from eye 



to eye at the level of the base of the anten- 

 nae ; the two basal joints of the antennae 

 yellow, the remainder black. The yellow 

 colour of the frons has a distinct greenish 

 tinge. The occiput is black with a narrow 

 linear yellow mark lying transversely on 

 either side. 



The eyes are yellow for their lower two- 

 thirds, the upper third is brown ; the brown 

 colour is separated from the yellow by a 

 darker margin which runs latitudinally, and 

 joins the black transverse band on the frons 

 at the level of the base of the ocelli. 



Prothorax. — Dorsally black, yellow at the 

 sides and below. 



Throax. — Dorsum black with rather broad 

 yellow antehumeral bands ; sides andunder- 

 surface yellow with a black band at the 

 level of the second lateral suture. 



Abdomen j^ellow ; the first segment with 

 a fine black basal triangle ; the remaining 

 segments all with a broad bronze-brown 

 longitudinal band dorsally occupying their 

 whole length. On segments 2-6 this band 

 is narrowed at the base of the segment, so 

 that each of these segments has a small pair 

 of basal yellow lunules when looked at from 

 above ; segment 7 has a similar narrowing 

 apically, whilst segments 8-9 show both 

 basal and apical lunules. The sternal plates 

 of segments 2-7 are also brown, except 

 at their extremities (text-fig. 2). 



The legs are yellow ; the two anterior 

 pairs have a slight orange tinge, and the 

 posterior surfaces of the femurs have each 

 a brown line. The pterostigma is brown. 

 Superior anal appendages yellow.
