 clypeus with a broad pale subapical band, which is trilobed 

 on lower side ; lateral face-marks elongate, filling space 

 between clypeus and eye, thence extending upward with a 

 slightly crenulate margin, to end obtusely on orbital margin 

 a short distance below middle of front ; flagellum obscure 

 red beneath except at base ; prothorax with an interrupted 

 yellow band, not nearly reaching tubercles, which are light ;
