? . Black; clypeus, a minute spot on each side above it, 

 a minute spot behiiul each eye, a broad band on the apical 

 margin of segments 1 and 2 of abdomen dorsally, whitish

 thorax, more sparse on abdomen. Tibise and tarsi with 

 dense golden-brown pubescence. Flagellum glabrous. 

 Clypeus flat, truncate, narrowly produced towards the apex; 

 head narrow when compared with thorax at tcgulse ; anterior 

 angles of pronotum obtuse; median segment truncate, slightly 

 depressed medially ; a conspicuous fold at base of second 

 abdominal segment beneath ; first abdominal segment broadly 

 bell-shaped, as bi'oad at apex as second abdominal segment

JIab. Khamba Jong, Sikhim, 15,000-10,000 ft., Tibet 

 Kxped. (//. J. Walton). 



Strongly resembles the insects of Saussure's Division 

 Ili/pof/i/nerus, all of which come from Chili and the western 

 face of the Andes. The long hairy coat, the whitish-yellow 

 markings, and the fold at the base of the second abdominal 

 segment beneath are all characteristic of the Chilian insects; 

 the wings and feet, however, lack the reddish coloration of 

 Jli/pof/yntrus, in which division I place it with doubt.
