Mr. Parfitt kindly sent me this insect to examine, and 

 from that inspection I would add to his description the 

 fellowing details : — 



Head and thorax shining, impunctate, covered with 

 longish white glistening hairs ; 1st and 2nd joints of the 

 fiagellum of the female subequal, not quite four times as 

 long as wide ; 23 joints ; 14th subquadrate ; parapsides 

 sharply impressed ; metathorax rather densely pube- 

 scent; supero-medial area elongate ; sides almost parallel, 

 the transverse line dividing the lateral areae only about 

 one-third from the front part of the metathorax ; 1st 

 abdominal segment of female gradually tapering, about 

 twice as wide at the apex as at the l)ase ; in the male 

 almost linear, canaliculated ; spiracles distinct, hardlj' 

 so in the male, placed just beyond the middle ; the whole 

 abdomen sparingly covered with glistening hairs, shining, 

 no sculpture except the hair-pits ; 2nd segment rather 

 longer than wdde ; 3rd slightly transverse ; in the male 

 the 2nd is one-third longer than wide ; the 3rd quadrate.
