and imder margin by stiff black hairs ; remaining segments closely 

 and finely punctured, more or less densely covered with long reddish 

 hairs, that on the apical segment turn to black.

 form known to me. It has, however, a distant resemblance 

 to the males of the " sexmaailata" group of m^Uilla from 

 India.
