 more or less infuscated at the base ; base of the hind tibiae and tarsi

 pale testaceous ; squamulae variable. Mesothorax very minutely 

 punctulate, somewhat shining ; scutellum smooth ; metathorax 

 rugulose, with a medial channel. Segment 1 twice as long as 

 broad, margined, aciculated, broadly rounded at the apex ; 2 trans- 

 verse, about one-third as long as 3, aciculated ; the rest smooth and 

 shming. Terebra shorter than the abdomen, slightly deciu-ved.

The black markings of the legs vary in extent, as 

 usual ; the pale spot in the stigma is liable to be 

 obliterated. The squamulfe vary from black to testa- 

 ceous. The mesothorax, as to punctuation and gloss, 

 offers no tangible differences. The antennae of the ? 

 are about as long as the body, of the 3' longer, as 

 remarked by Haliday under annvlaris ; but Reinhard 

 makes them the same length as those of the other sex.
