on each side a very short transverse elevated carina; the collar 
with a transverse interrupted band, and the tubercles, yellow; 
the tegulz piceous; the wings slightly coloured, their nervures 
testaceous ; the legs with their femora black, the extreme apex 
yellow, as well as the tibize, the anterior pair of which are below 
black, and the extreme apex of all rufo-testaceous; the tarsi

their basal joints yellow, the anterior pair very slightly ciliated, 
the intermediate and posterior tibize spinose. 
The abdomen black, with five yellow bands, and the anus, 
yellow, and all but the fifth more or less interrupted, the second 
and fourth generally least so, and sometimes all entire, yet

the sides of the obtuse canaliculated spine that terminates the

The ¢ differs in the antenne, which are formed nearly as in

pedicel, yellow below, and the whole of the clavolet fuscous be- 
neath, as also its apical joints above excepting the extreme joint, 
which is entirely black; the pedicel slightly produced on the 
exterior; the third joint smaller than the fourth and both pro- 
duced into an obtuse tooth at their extremity, the latter slightly 
so at the side of its base, both much curved and concave beneath, 
the fifth and sixth also curved, the tooth of the fifth as large or 
larger than that of the fourth but more acute, and that of the 
sixth most acute of all, the following cylindrical and equal; the 
clypeus produced in front and obtuse, sinuate on each side ; the 
pubescence of the face the same as in the @ ; the sculpture of 
the thorax more strongly marked; the yellow band of the collar 
sometimes reduced to a mere spot on each side, sometimes 
wanting entirely; the tubercles also sometimes black; the an- 
terior femora of a yellowish red above and within, which behind
