slightly expanded toward apex, subequal in length to third segment; 
segments 2 to 4 slender, cylindrical, the third twice as long as fourth; 
segments 5 to 11 subtriangular or subcylindrical. 
Pronotum black, one-third wider than long, wider at apex than at 
base, widest at basal third; sides slightly, arcuately diverging from 
anterior angles to basal thirds, then strongly constricted near bases; 
disk slightly uneven, transversely depressed along base; surface 
coarsely, deeply, confluently punctate, densely, irregularly clothed with 
long, erect and recumbent, yellow hairs. Scutellum densely clothed 
with yellow hairs. 
Elytra cuneiform, extending to middle of first abdominal sternite, 
acute at apices, pale brownish yellow, each with a triangular black 
space at scutellum, and a small black spot at middle along lateral mar- 
gin; surface rather coarsely punctate basally, the punctures becoming 
finer and sparser toward apices, and each elytron with a longitudinal 
spot of long, erect, brownish-yellow hairs extending from base to middle 
of sutural margin. 
Abdomen beneath brownish yellow, with margins blackish, densely, 
shallowly punctate, sparsely clothed with short, erect, yellowish hairs; 
first visible sternite ornamented on each side with a narrow fascia of 
white hairs; last visible sternite broadly, arcuately emarginate at 
apex. Sternum black, densely, irregularly clothed with long, erect 
and recumbent, yellow and white hairs. Legs brownish yellow, ex- 
cept apical halves of posterior femora and tibiae, which are black; 
anterior and middle legs rather densely clothed with moderately long, 
yellow hairs, posterior femora extending to apical margin of third ab- 
dominal sternite, very coarsely, deeply, densely punctate, rather dense- 
ly clothed with short, semierect, yellowish hairs, with a narrow fascia 
of white hairs near apices; posterior tibiae coarsely, confluently punc- 
tate, clothed with long, erect, yellow hairs, and with a dense tuft of 
dark brown hairs near apices. 
Female.—Differs from the male in having the eyes separated from 
each other on the front by about three times the diameter of the 
first antennal segment, the pronotum broadly yellow along base and 
anterior margin, the last visible abdominal sternite truncate at the 
apex, and the first visible abdominal sternite with a narrow fascia of 
white hairs along the posterior margin. 
Length 13.5 mm., width 3.5 mm. 
Type locality —British Guiana. 
Type and allotype.—U.S.N.M. No. 57681. 
Remarks.—Described from a male and female (male type) collected 
at the type locality. 
This species is allied to Hpimelitta nigerrima Bates but can be sepa- 
rated from that species by its yellowish-brown color and by having the 
tips of the elytron more acute and indistinctly punctate.
