passing into two sharp chitinized points; viewed from the side (fig. 10) 
these sharp tips are directed strongly ventrad and viewed from beneath 
(fig. 12) they are seen to be decussate. Gonapophyses short, directed 
dorsad at the tip which is blunt and truncated. , 
Female: Similar to the male but the head of one specimen is 
entirely dark, the dorsal brown stripe on the pleure clearer and narrower 
not grading insensibly into the yellow of the dorsal pleurites. 
Holotype, o', Nadi, Fiji Is., 7-28, 718. Allotype, 9, and

segments light. yellow above, brown on the under surface; the two or 
three basal flagellar segments are yellowish, the remainder brown.

Pronotum light brown except the scutellum which is very light

scutum very dark clove-brown, uniform; scutum similar except the 
median portion and the outer caudal angles of the lobes which are paler; 
scutellum brown, the apical two-thirds pale; mesonotum light brown. 
Pleurze and sterna brown except a broad yellow line extending from the 
wing-root along the dorsal pleurites to the pronotum and a second 
broad whitish yellow stripe extending from the fore coxe, above the 
middle coxz to underneath the halteres. Halteres uniform light 
sulphur yellow. Legs,—fore legs, coxe light yellow at the base, the tip 
brown; trochanters brown; femora brown; tibiz, extreme base and
