“ Head black, base of the mandibles and lower portion of the 
* clypeus white, mixed with red; the anterior orbits of the 
*‘ eyes white. The thorax beneath black, as well as the pro- 
“ thorax, the latter having on each side a red humeral spot; 
“‘ the tubercles, upper portion of the thorax, as well as meta- 
‘“‘ thorax, red, as well as their sides above. Abdomen black, the 
‘second segment having on its posterior margin a white band,

“ the centre and at the sides. Legs black, the four anterior fe- 
“mora red beneath, as also their tibiz and tarsi. Wings hya-
