ward to the rear edge of the median oceHus; metaUic areas, 

 with the granular or hammered-brass Hke surface, as described 

 for mitratum, but yellow, more gold like, and larger in cal- 

 cndulum, the median division between them less evident, and, 

 on either side, but not touching the eye, is a rounded area ot 

 the same color and metallic surface. Antenna with the first 

 two joints and all of the third but the apex yellow, remaind- 

 er brown. Profile similar to that of mitratum. 



Prothorax similar to that of mitratum, with the pale color 

 inclining to orange rather than yellow, the dusky area on either 

 side of the middle lobe represented by only a tinge of darker, 

 but the lower border narrowly and more or less completely 

 black. 



Thorax above, the mesepimera and the mesinfraepisterna 

 largely rich reddish brown ; a black middorsal stripe, on either 

 side of which is a scarcely discernible pale stripe about half 

 as wide ; the lower outer area of each mesepisternum is yellow 

 or yellowish and there is a faint paling along the humeral 

 suture (this last pale area being the remnant of the pale hum- 

 eral stripe of mitratum) ; the area on the thoracic dorsum be- 

 tween the dorsal and humeral paler lines is darker above, 

 shading out below ; probably it never becomes entirely black 

 as in mitratum; mesinfraepisternum black below in front; 

 metepisternum and metepimeron brownish yellow, with an 

 indefinite reddish brown area, which shades out below, on 

 each sclerite. Beneath and coxae yellow, coxae darker in 

 front. 



Abdominal segment i yellow, a large dusky median spot 

 above and the lower posterior border black; remainder of 

 abdomen flesh red and black; 2 largely pale, a small basal 

 dusky area on either side above, enclosing between them an 

 incipient longitudinal median stripe, a more indefinite apical
