" Body lemon-yellow. Thorax with four black lateral rounded 

 spots and an oval median one. Segments of the abdomen broadly 

 black-marked, the sixth and the eighth black ; ovipositor reddish. 

 Antennae blackish ; legs yellowish, blackish at the articulations. 

 Wings clear, stigmatic cell black. 



"Length 7 lines [=14 millimetres]. Habitat: Java, in woods 

 (Djokjakarta)." (Osten Sacken.) 



Type c? in the Vienna Museum. 



The species was renamed by Osten Sacken, on the ground that 

 Wiedemaun in 1821 described a species under the name of 

 " Tipv.la " javana (Dipt. Exot. i, p. 27), which is a Pachyrhina 

 but I venture to restore the name javensis, as it is not a homonym 

 of javana.
