 Rondani. Ann. Mus. Civ. Genova, vii, p. 458. 



Type seen in the Museum at Genoa. Only the one specimen, 

 from which I made the following notes : — 



A very large broad-bodied species. Abdomen reddish yellow, 

 very broad. Antennae yellow. Legs reddish brown. Wings 

 large, hyaline, tinged yellow. Length 22 mm. 



Face covered with ^^ellowish grey tomentum and a few 

 scattered gre^^ hairs. Palpi reddish yellow, long, and a little 

 stout at base ending in a long point, with black hairs, darker at 

 the extreme apex. Antennae the same colour, darker at apex, 

 the first two joints with black hairs, the third with a distinct 

 tooth. Forehead the same width throughout, about six times 

 as long as it is broad, the frontal callus mahogany-coloured, 

 oblong with a linear extension, not touching the eyes, the fore- 

 head and subcallus are covered with yellow-brown tomentum, 

 some black hairs on the former. Thorax and scutelluni the same 

 colour as the abdomen with some grey tomentum, most noticeable 

 on the anterior part of thorax. Abdomen with narrow yellow- 

 haired segmentations ; on the under side these are wider and 

 whiter and the red-yellow colour is darker. Legs uniform reddish 

 brown, the pubescence black. 



Four specimens sent me by Dr. Kertesz for identification 

 from Borneo and Sumatra, agree with these descriptions with the 

 exception of the wings which appear more brown than 3'ellow, 

 but the specimens are faded and dirty ; and the palpi have yellow- 

 hairs.
