appressed hairs at sides. Median part of postscutellum yellow, lateral 

 parts black to brown, continuing in a pair of lateral spots of the same 

 color on the shining testaceous yellow mediotergite (as in formosa). 



Thoracic bristles brownish yellow; inferior mesopleural bristle two- 

 thirds as long as superior and much weaker; posterior notopleural 

 bristle almost as long as anterior. Dorsocentral pair inserted in male 

 slightly before line of supra-alars, approximately in posterior fourth

of distance between transverse suture and supra-alar (so) bristle, and 

 in female placed on a level with sa bristles or slightly behind. Dorso- 

 central bristles slightly wider spaced, and shorter than prescutellar 

 pair, which stands but slightly before level of upper postalar bristles. 

 Apical pair of scutellar bristles convergent and almost as long as the 

 divergent basal pau-. 



Coxae and legs entirely testaceous yellow, anteroventral row of 

 short yellow bristles on hind tibiae indistinct, especially in male. 



Wings with the general pattern of the genus, but the yellow bands
