not very closely with elongate bright yellow hair-like scales, these 
being absent towards the vertex; also with stiff black hairs from 
vertex down to and below antennae. Antennae blackish grey, 
3rd joint shortly conical, with rather long style, and the usual 
pencil of short hairs at tip. Underside of head black, some stiff 
black hairs and a small quantity of deeper yellow hair-like scales 
on each side below, but not contiguous to, base of antennae. 
Mouth opening small, black. Occiput rather widely produced 
behind eyes, black, with a patch of small yellow scales behind the 
middle of each eye, and a fringe of very thick short dark brown 
hair at hinder margin of occiput. 
Thorax (somewhat denuded), black, with moderately thick 
bright yellow and whitish grey bristly scale-like hairs intermixed, 
around the shoulders, the sides and anterior margin of dorsum, 
the whitish grey scaly hairs in this latter part being more promi- 
nent. Surface of dorsum with very short recumbent bright 
yellow hair. The usual strong bristles towards the sides; a 
certain quantity of stiff black hairs on anterior and posterior 
parts of thorax, whilst the dorsum is lightly covered with softer 
spatser black pubescence. Scutellum blackish, sometimes dull 
reddish brown, with very short recumbent bright yellow hairs 
and soft black pubescence, and a row of about twelve long curved 
brownish yellow bristles on posterior margin. 
Abdomen.—Blackish, with short bright yellow recumbent 
hairs and longer yellow bristly hairs more or less in a row towards 
the hind border of each segment. At each side at the base of the 
abdomen, a large bunch of milk-white long scale-like bristly hairs, 
the edges of the segments bearing rather thick yellow bristly hairs, 
with some long black similar hairs about the middle of the actual 
edges of each segment. The last three or four segments bear 
some large milk-white elongate scales and isolated similar scales 
are attached here and there towards the sides of the posterior 
margins of some of the other segments. Belly blackish, with 
rather thick yellow and white hairs on the posterior borders of all 
the segments. Genitalia rather large, concealed, brownish yellow, 
apparently consisting of a pair of plates. 
Legs.—Coxae and femora dark brown; fore coxae, at least, 
with a little yellow hair and black bristles; tibiae and tarsi 
brownish yellow, both, with the femora also, with very short 
bristles. 
Wings hyaline. Basal half of wing blackish brown, the limits 
of the colour forming an irregular diagonal line from the fork of 
the 2nd longitudinal vein (which is immediately above the 
anterior cross-vein) towards the anal margin of the wing (though 
the colour dies away at the border), and just enclosing the base 
of the discal cell and the posterior cross-vein. Costal and sub- 
costal cells blackish brown to their tips; a semi-hyaline elongate 
spot in marginal cell immediately proximad of fork of 2nd longi- 
tudinal vein, another similar spot just below it, in first basal cell, 
in which same cell there is a third similar spot towards its base.
