It is very like L. tricincta, Gr., but the hind tibiae is 

 differentl}' coloured, and the front coxae are not pale. 



Since the above was written, Mr. Fletcher has bred, 

 from PteropJiorus haliodactylus, an Anilasta which differs 

 from the above in having the scape black beneath. This 

 is probably only a variety.
