cipital bands bending outward anteriorly, and a narrow

 angle a long hair, and in addition two posterior marginal 

 hairs on each side of the middle; color dark brown with 

 narrow black lateral border, and a very narrow transverse 

 line across the segment in front of the middle. Meta- 

 thorax, sides bare, posterior angles with two spines and a 

 long hair; posterior margin with a few hairs; color dark 

 brown with darker irregular broad lateral border and

 angular emargination on the sides; mesothorax with a 

 paler-colored narrow median line separating the dark 

 quadrangular lateral blotches. Sternal markings consist-

 in 'posterior angles of segments and several short ones 

 along sides and in angles ; a series of about twenty pus- 

 tulated hairs along posterior margin of segments 1-7 ; 

 these series extending laterally only to a pale-colored lon- 

 gitudinal line running parallel with the lateral margin of 

 body and about .16 mm. from it. Color dark brown,
