Luteous ; head, sides of thorax and scutelhirn flavous ; mesonotum with 

 three fuscous lines, tnetathorax weakly rugose, wings with one red 

 macula. 



Length, 25-30 mm. 



Pale yellow, a little reddish, head, pleurae and scutellum sulphur- 

 yellow, antennae slightly ferruginous; mesonotum luteous, with three 

 broad black or brown lines of which the median is incomplete ; meta- 

 thorax with distinct median keel, the first region smooth, with a carina 

 reentrant in the middle like a very open band ; second region finely 

 rugose, with more or less distinct broad transverse fuscous band ; 

 wings with stigma red, nervures brown, the glabrous area of the dis- 

 cocubital cell with one red macula ; apical segments of the abdomen 

 brown. 



I have not seen a specimen of this species, and can only 

 give a free translation of the original description. 



Type, — Location unknown to me. 



I am not sure of the identity of this species ; Cameron's 

 specimens were evidently thoracicus in which the small third 

 macula was lacking, for his plate shows this condition, which 

 is often found in that species. They can not be flavo-scutella- 

 tus, which, according to the original description, has only one 

 macula. Cameron lists thoracicus from Mexico and Cuba, but 

 does not state how he separates the two species. 



Distribution. — Rio Grande, Brazil ; Cerro Zunil, Guatemala ; 

 Irazu, Costa Rica 



This species is apparently tropical, but its exact range is 

 still unknown. 



Location of speciynens. — British Museum.
