weak, dusky, only about 0°5 the length of the tube. Abdo- 
minal bristles strong, brown or yellowish-brown, the longest 
on 9 about 0°8 the length of tube and those on 7 and 8 not 
so long. 
This species is readily separated from brevicollis by its 
more bulky form, shape of head, longer tube, etc., ete.

Colour chestnut-brown, distal third or so of tube lighter 
than the rest; fore-tibiz yellow shaded with grey-brown, all 
tarsi yellow. Antennal joint 1 concolorous with head, 
2 lighter brown distally, 3 clear yellow, 4 to 6 yellow 
deepening in intensity, 7 yellow tinged with brown, and 8 a 
deeper brown. Wings lightly fumate in fresh specimens, 
but losing colour in carded examples, and in some, when 
mounted, quite clear. 
Head 1°15 times longer than broad and approximately 
15 times the length of the pronotum; surface finely 
striated transversely ; cheeks parallel, converging slightly 
near base, and furnished with avery few micro-setee. Space 
between eyes about the breadth of one of them; ocelli 
placed anteriorly (that is, above a line drawn through the 
centre of eyes and contiguous to their inner margins), large 
with the median one overhanging and directed forwards. 
Post- and interocellar sete minute. Hyes somewhat 
minutely, closely, and smoothly facetted, occupying dorsally 
about O°4 the length of the head; postocular bristles present, 
short, 0°5 to 0°6 the length of the eye, and rather stout. 
Antenne much as in G. fumipennis, Karny, and karnyi,

than 5 and 5 broader than3; long slender trichomes on

Pronotum basally much broader than anteriorly ; twice 
as broad as the median length. ‘The postero-marginal
