 antennae (apparently) brownish yellow. Antennal scape yellow, 

 flagellum brown. Thorax : anterior third reddish brown, darkening 

 insensibly to blackish on the remainder ; dorsum with very short

Described from a single specimen in the Indian Museum, taken 

 at Simla, 10.vii.09 (Dr. Annandale). 



I presume the example to be a male, as only six distinct abdo- 

 minal segments are present, and the abdomen is only slightly 

 compressed, but no genital organs are visible.
