cence on the disc very fine, pale yellowish, becoming longer and denser 

 at the lateral stripes, but on the hutneri rather sparser and much erect ; 

 pubescence on the soutellum scarce. Pleurae black, but densely 

 covered with a greyish yellow dust especially on the prothorax, the 

 upper part of the meso-pleurae, and the meta-pleurae ; on the upper 

 and hind part of the meso-pleurae there is a dense very conspicuous 

 tawny patch of long shaggy hairs, and a similar patch is almost equally 

 conspicuous on the meta-pleurae and prothorax, but below these patches 

 the pleurae bear only very scattered whitish yellow hairs ; on the 

 narrow lateral brownish stripes between the mesonotum and pleurae 

 there are a very few brownish hairs. 



Wings rather large with the usual brown band and apical spot ; 

 the former is rather narrow occupying about the length of the discal 

 cell and only reaching beyond the lower branch of the postical vein, 

 the inner margin extending from the base of the cubital vein to the 

 base of the lower branch of the postical vein, slightly double-arched, 

 and at the end of the discal vein slightly angulated outwards ; the 

 outer margin of the cross-band irregular, extending from after the 

 end of the subcostal vein to tha end of the lower branch of the post- 

 ical vein, in the submarginal cell it is moderately curved inwards, 

 and at the cubital vein right-angled, somewhat straight from the 

 cubital vein to near the third veinlet of the discal vein but obliquely 

 curved inwards in the first posterior cell, and the portion from the 

 third veinlet to near the lower branch of the postical vein nearly 

 straight but not well-defined, oblique and somewhat parallel with the 

 base of the upper branch of the postical vein, as it is obtusely angu- 

 late at the third veinlet of the discal vein, and then bent outwards 

 running ' along the lower branch of the postical vein ; the apical spot 

 the same width throughout, only crossing the upper branch of the 

 cubital fork at its apex ; the basal brown marking rather small, occupy- 

 ing both the basal half of the upp^r basal cell and the extreme base 

 of the second basal cell ; discal cell rather short slightly longer and
