propleurae, dilated at the apex, a small, triangular mark below the 

 tegulffl, a larger one in the middle below, a still larger, triangular 

 mark below the hind wings and the apical half of metanotum, 

 the spot narrowly dilated in the middle above, yellow ; the ocellar 

 region and the front broadly the mark broadest above a mark 

 on the base of propleurae in the middle, the scutellar depression 

 and keels, the lower sides broadly, a spot covering the spiracles 

 on metanotum and the abdomen, except the basal half of 1st 

 segment (which is dull red), black. Four front legs rufo-fulvous,

 the black central part of front strongly transversely striated and 

 keeled down the middle, the sides punctured. Vertex sparsely 

 punctured laterally and between the ocelli. Mesonotum reticu- 

 lated, the base in the centre finely, minutely punctured, the sides 

 transversely striated ; the outer edges with large, clearly separated 

 punctures. Scutellum coarsely punctured ; the lateral keels black, 

 distinct. Base of metanotum bordered by a transverse keel, 

 smooth, with two keels in the middle ; the rest reticulated and 

 thickly covered with longish white pubescence. Propleuraj 

 smooth at the base, the apex above punctured, the rest stoutly, 

 longitudinally striated. Mesopleuras rugosely punctured; more 

 or less reticulated, the top stoutly striated at the base, smooth at

Type in Col. Nurse's collection. 



This male is identical with the one in the Pusa collection, 

 referred to above, and with another in the Oxford Museum, 

 simply labelled " India " ; but I can trace no structural distinc- 

 tions.]
