and one on each side. ‘The abdomen is black and shining, the first 
segment with a large irregular yellow spot nearly divided in two 
by a black clavate line; each of the three following segments has 
two round yellow spots on the back and an oblong one on each side, 
as have also the fifth and sixth segments; but in them they much 
diminish in size ; the five anterior segments on the under side are 
varied with yellow spots, which become gradually smaller beyond 
the 2nd joint. The legs are castaneous red, the coxe alone black, 
the posterior coxee with a yellow spot in front. ‘The anal append- 
age terminates in an acute point, without any lateral spines. 
The female is dark chesnut red on the head and thorax, which 
are slightly and widely punctured and pilose, the punctures being 
larger and closer near the insertion of the antennee. The clypeus 
is irregular with a central point (fig. 42), the mandibles are pitchy 
and entire, the antennz pitchy, the legs chesnut red, the abdomen 
pitchy red, with five yellow fascize interrupted down the middle 
and at each side ; the intermediate segments on each side beneath 
have a small yellow spot. The first segment has a slight trans- 
verse carinated line near the extremity, the second segment with 
one near the base and another near the extremity, the inter- 
mediate space transversely multi-striolated ; each of the following 
segments has a transverse carinated line nearly across the middle. 
The terminal segment of the abdomen is thick, truncate, with longi- 
tudinal striz, and a notch on each side beneath (fig. 4 e, 47.)
