324 Mr. G. H. Verrall’s descriptions of 
rather dense sparse blackish pubescence above, greyish-white about 
middle and below; the eye-margin itself however bare, rather 
broadly so all about middle of eye. Antennae with the third joint 
hardly dilated,equal in width for two-thirds then slightly attenuated ; 
style white, one-third the length of third joint, hardly blackened at 
base and moderately pointed. 
Thorax and scutellum clothed all over with dense tawny pubes- 
cence which does not conceal the shining aeneous-black ground- 
colour, this pubescence is rather longer on fore part than on rest, 
and is still denser and more conspicuous at sides and on mesopleurae ; 
middle of thorax in front with a conspicuous rather narrow dull 
black line fading away after reaching half-way down, well separated 
from this line are two broad dull black stripes each of which throws 
out at suture a dull black line which in its turn connects with an 
undefined black stripe along the sides of thorax, and this and the 
broad stripe converge and coalesce further down thorax and reach 
hind-margin rather narrowly near postalar calli. 
Abdomen brighter aeneous but rather obscured by the very 
dense equal erect tawny pubescence, this is slightly but incon- 
spicuously longer on the two basal segments, and distinctly longer 
about the sides near the base; first segment all dull black, second 
segment dull black with a large shining aeneous triangle at basal 
corners, a point of which nearly reaches the hind-corners of segment, 
third segment bright aeneous with a dull black dorsal triangle which 
begins at a point very near middle of base of segment and slopes 
out nearly to side corners leaving all actual hind-margin rather 
narrowly shining aeneous, fourth segment all shining aeneous only 
obscured by dense pubescence and without any trace of dull mark- 
ings. Genitalia black but with only tawny pubescence. Belly 
shining aeneous with less dense tawny pubescence. 
Legs black with the tip sixth or eighth of femora, all the tibiae 
absolutely, and basal joint of all tarsi except at the tip, clear orange ; 
pubescence behind anterior femora and in front of hind femora 
rather long, dense, and conspicuous, all tawny; pubescence on 
tibiae longer and denser than usual and all tawny, but that on four 
last joints of tarsi black except on the soles of second and third 
joints; tarsi, especially front ones, dilated; claws black but 
obscurely orange about base, pulvilli blackish orange. 
Wings rather smoky with a brownish orange tinge on fore part 
which is hardly defined except on the long stigma; cross-vein at 
two-fifths the discal cell; upper marginal cross-vein with a rather 
sharp angle. Squamae glassy orange with orange fringes. Halteres 
orange. 
Jength 124 mm. Antennae about 4 mm,
