 This species is well distinguished by its narrow form in 

 conjunction with its style of coloration. The two orange-red 

 bands are interrupted here and there, and the red dots which 

 together with the white ones form the articulated transverse 

 lines are very small. The only specimen known is in the 

 collection of Mr. Melvill. Locality unknown.
