basal joints of antennae; which are short, a little broader at tip, 
blackish, with black bristles; the 3rd joint of the shape of an 
elongated leaf, flattened, with obtuse tips, three times as long as 
the two basal joints together, yellowish, with dark brown lower 
margins. 
Thorax.—High, robust, nearly quadrate; ground colour dark 
shining brown, closely covered with rather long thick bright golden 
yellow hair. Scutellum and metanotum concolorous in ground 
colour and hair with the dorsum. Sides of thorax dull yellowish, 
with long thick golden yellow hair. A little brownish hair is inter- 
mixed here and there with the yellow hair of the thorax. 
Abdomen.—Robust, thickened, longer than thorax, oblongo- 
conical, tip jointed Brownish yellow, Ist segment very short; the 
dorsum of each segment mainly occupied by a large semi-circular 
dark brown spot at the base, and extending in the middle of the 
segment to the hind margin, leaving the sides of the segments 
mainly vellow; 5th and 6th segments all black, the latter very 
small. Belly blackish brown, practically bare, emargination of 
segments narrowly yellow. The whole upper side of the abdomen 
with bright golden yellow hair, which is brownish towards the tip. 
Legs.—Coxae half as long as femora, yellowish with pale 
yellow hairs. ‘Tibiae (which are a little longer than the femora) 
and tarsi black, with blackish brown hair; under side of tibiae 
brownish yellow, and emarginations of the tarsal joints below, 
narrowly yellowish. Tibiae a little broadened at tips, where they 
end in a small blunt tooth-like projection on the outer side. 
Tarsi a little longer than tibiae, base of metatarsus (which is equal 
in length to the rest of the tarsus) pale yellow. 
Wings.—Barely aslong as abdomen, rather broad, tip rounded, 
pale grey, costal vein very distinct, ending at tip of lower 
branch of 3rd vein, immediately before the extreme tip of the 
wing. Auxiliary (subcostal) and rst longitudinal veins thick, the 
former ending at about two-thirds of the wing, the latter a little 
beyond it, both nearly straight, distinctly separate (though approxi- 
mate) from just beyond the humeral cross-vein. The 2nd and 3rd 
longitudinals with the anterior cross-vein have the appearance 
of springing from a common stem (or else the 3rd longitudinal 
and the anterior cross-vein spring simultaneously from the 2nd 
vein at a little beyond its base). The 2nd vein is nearly straight, 
but curved upward at its tip, to the costa. The 3rd vein is 
nearly straight, and in a straight line with the basal section (the 
*“common stem’’) of the 2nd, and, at about two-thirds of its 
length, it forks widely; the upper branch (which becomes suddenly 
much thinner) being again forked before half its length, the two 
prongs ending in the costa distinctly before the wing tip. The 
lower branch is short and ends in the upper branch of the 4th vein. 
The anterior cross-vein is a little shorter than the basal section 
of the 2nd longitudinal vein (or the ‘‘ common stem’’). The 4th 
longitudinal vein forks just before the anterior cross vein, the 
upper branch nearly straight, turning up slightly on quitting the
