shining clove-brown, transversely oblong, extending from 

 eye to eye ; on vertex is a sliining black transverse mark, 

 also extending from eye to eye, and perhaps partly due to 

 rubbing; midway between mark on vertex and callus is a 

 dull, clove-brown or black, transverse band, of approximately 

 same size as callus, and extending from eye to eye; ojes 

 banded; palpi creani-buff or cream-coloured, |)roximal joint 

 somewhat greyish and clothed with white hair, terminal 

 joint viewed from the side curved lanceolate, clothed on 

 outer side with minute, appressed, sliining yellowish-white 

 hairs, mixed with minute black hairs ; first and second 

 joints of anienme ochraceous-bulf, short, clothed with short, 

 black hairs, their upper distal angles not produced ; expanded 

 portion of the third joint of antennee ochraceous-rufous, 

 viewed from side sometimes rather broad, terminal annidi 

 of third joint clove-brown (the three proximal annuli some- 

 times paler). Thorax : dorsum dark olive-brown, greyish 

 in front, thinly clothed with minute, appressed, shining 

 bufl'-yellow hairs mixed with some blackish hairs, light 

 grey on each side from humeral callus to scutellum, with 

 three narrow, light grey, longitudinal stripes, and on each 

 side a shorter and broader grey stripe, which extends from 

 posterior margin of triangular depression at end of trans- 

 verse suture to postalar callus; the three light grey stripes 

 in the centre all start from the front margin, but while the 

 median stri])e becomes indistinct beyond the transverse 

 suture, the paired stripes (which posteriorly, at any rate, are 

 somewhat broader than the median one) are entire ; dorsal 

 surface of scutellum grey on each side, more or less olive- 

 brown in centre, its hairy covering similar to that of remainder 

 of dorsum ; swelling occupying triangular depression at 

 each end of transverse suture isabella-coloured, clothed 

 below with longer dark brown or black hair, and above with 

 short yellowish hair; pleural and pectus light grey (meso- 

 and sternopleuraj sometimes with traces of isabella-colour), 

 clothed with whitish hair. Abdomen : dorsum dark olive- 

 brown, clothed on each side and on median stripe with 

 minute, ajjpressed, yellowish hairs, extreme hind margins of 

 all segments, exeei)t first, yellowish-grey poUinose ; first 

 segment grey on each side; midway between median line 

 and lateral margin is, on each side, a longitudinal scries 

 of elongate grey spots, each spot with its base resting on 

 the hind margin of the precciiing segment, the two series 

 thus forming a pair of igrey strijies (considerably broader 

 than the stri[)cs on the thoia.x), which, eonnnencing at the 

 base of the second segment, terminate on the sixth segment
