ing segments with narrow white fasciz, the first widened

*Gorytes tricolor. 
Female.—Length 4 lines. Head black, thorax ferru- 
ginous, both w ith yellow markings ; abdomen of three 
colours—ferruginous, yellow and black. Head: the 
antenne, anterior margin of the clypeus and tips of the 
mandibles ferruginous; the extreme apex of the antennz 
black; the clypeus and mandibles, a short narrow line 
behind the eyes and a broader one at their inner orbits 
yellow, the latter ferruginous towards the clypeus. The 
prothorax above, a spot before the tegul, the scutellum 
and post-scutellum, the claw-joint of the anterior tarsi, and 
the intermediate and posterior tibize in front, yellow; the 
enclosed space at the base of the metathorax longitudinally 
striated; the legs ferruginous ; the wings hyaline, with a 
dark fuscous spot occupying the marginal, second sub-

Abdomen: the two basal and the apical seement ferrugi-

not extending to the lateral margins, and much narrowed 
in the middle; this band is sometimes obsolete; the second 
seoment has a yellow marginal fascia, narrow in the middle 
and much widened laterally; the basal margin of the third 
segment black. 
“Male. —Greatly resembles the female, but has the scape 
of the antennz, the mandibles, as well as the clypeus and 
inner orbits of the eyes, yellow; the coxa, trochanters, 
tibie and tarsi are also yellow, the tibiz being more or less 
ferruginous or black behind. The first four segments of 
the abdomen have a yellow fascia on their apical margins, 
greatly widened laterally; the third and following segments

with bright yellow, the tips of the anterior wings dark 
fuscous. Head: a large oblong spot behind the eyes, the 
clypeus, which is elevated, the face on each side of it, a

the anterior ocellus, the scape in front and the mandibles
