usual the bands turn inward before the antennae, forming a 

 prominent, partly blackish blotch on either side. Space before 

 the mandibles not so distinct as in many species. Antennae pale 

 with first joint short, equal in length to the adjacent trabecular 

 angles; second segment longest, about as long as the two follow- 

 ing together ; third and last nearly equal and the fourth but 

 little shorter (fig. 5«). Eye prominent with a long hair. Tem- 

 ples with a rounded anterior angle behind the eye, then consider- 

 ably flattened and converging to the rounded posterior angles, 

 in front of which is a slight emargination giving rise to a long 

 hair (fig. 5c) ; on the anterior angles is a short hair and a little 

 behind this a long one, another short one occurring midway on 

 the flattened sides. Temples slightly darker than frontal or occi- 

 pital regions of head. Occiput deeply emarginate with dark 

 marginal band and slightly darker blotches at either end. 



Thorax much shorter than head, with dark marginal bands. 

 Pro thorax with sides rounded and protruding, bearmg a pustu- 

 lated hair. Metathorax but little longer than prothorax^ with 

 diverging sides and acute posterior lateral angles bearing a pus- 

 tule with three long hairs ; another pustule with two long hairs 

 a short distance in from these on the slightly convex posterior 

 margin. Metathorax similar to first segment of abdomen. Legs 

 well developed, lighter in colour than body. 



Abdomen elliptical with prominent lateral angles and dark, 

 heavih^ chitinized marginal bands; darkish transverse blotches, 

 leaving a narrow light space on the meson, this space not so 

 apparent in some specimens, however. A series of about six 

 hairs across the middle of each segment, limited to the central 

 portion of the abdomen, and a long hair on the posterior margin 

 near the side on segments three to six ; the usual long hairs in 

 the lateral angles, increasing in number and length posteriorly. 

 Last segment truncate, entire. 



Male much shorter than the female. Antennae with first 

 joint considerably enlarged, protruding, with numerous long 

 hairs (fig. 5^^).
