Q. Face with dense golden pile leaving middle line bare, frons 
(? partly rubbed) with a patch of golden pile on each side a little 
above antennae then about middle with a cross-band of longer 
erect black hairs, and a few black hairs about ocellar space and 
some long ones at back of vertex; all back of head from jowls to 
vertex with dense golden pile but there is a rather wide bare shining 
black space between jowls and face. Eyes with fairly abundant 
pubescence, brown on upper part but pale on lower part, and there 
is apparently a broad dark brown band of pubescence running down 
the eye from about a quarter from top to about middle, after which 
the same band seems to be composed of whitish pubescence behind 
and brown in front (the whitish predominating)—the top and back 
part of the eye may be bare (perhaps rubbed). Antennae with the 
second joint half the length of first, but both short, and the third 
joint more than three times as long as the first two together, very 
moderately dilated for about half its length then gradually diminish- 
ing but altogether rather slender, style long about one-third the length 
of third joint, basal joint black then orange, style long pure white 
and rather thick from dense white pubescence; base of antennae 
and top of antennal prominence brownish. 
Thorax apparently dull slaty black (much rubbed and apparently 
having been wetted) with three conspicuous rather narrow black 
lines down the disc well apart, and of these the two side ones 
widen a little above the suture, while none extend more than half- 
way between suture and hind-margin. Scutellum similar in colour 
to thorax, but I can see traces of bright aeneous round margin (which 
tends to confirm my suspicions of discoloration), the pubescence as 
left is mainly a dense golden one round margin. All about disc of 
thorax, especially behind the humeri and possibly on disc of scutel- 
lum are a few scattered, erect, thin, blackish hairs, which may well 
exist though inconspicuous amidst a dense golden pile and might 
remain even when that pile had been rubbed off, but in this specimen 
the dense golden pubescence remains only on sides after base of 
wings and along hind-margin. 
Abdomen dull black (possibly having been wetted) with traces of
