part, and the rest of the pleurae bears dense long shaggy pale brown- 

 ish yellow pubescence ; scutellum as in the female but there is a very 

 few pale pubescence mainly greyish along the dorso-pleural suture and 

 sometimes on the upper part of the mesopleurae and under the front 

 part of the wing-base where there is a tuft, while there is a dense 

 conspicuous whitish or yellowish white tuft on the prothorax and a 

 very large tuft on the metapleurae. 



Wings and halteres as in the female, but the disc of the squamae 

 rather deeper coloured. 



Legs as in the female, but less greyish and all the pubescence 

 much conspicuous, darker, and longer, and with the long but delicate 

 inner-ventral ciliation. 



Abdomen rather short and narrow, slightly longer than the thorax 

 (including the scutellum) and head together, gradually narrowed towards 

 the pointed apex. Dorsurn rather deep black with the large brownish 

 orange lateral markings occupying most of the three basal segments 

 leaving the broad black dorsal stripe ; this black dorsal stripe extending 

 all across the base of the basal segment but narrowing down to more 

 than the middle third of the hind-margin, and on the second segment 

 forming a large transverse quadrate spot occupying about the middle 

 third of the segment, and the middle part of this black space rather 

 greyish or greyish yellow while the spot itself may widen somewhat 

 near the hindmargin but usually contracts at the hindmargin itself; the 

 black stripe on the third segment is similar to that on the second segment 

 but narrower ; on the fourth segment there is a short brownish orange 

 spot at the sides of the foremargin which is continued to the above 

 lateral marking ; there is an obscure dark lateral line at the side of 

 the second and third segments ; the actual sidemargins are very narrowly 

 brownish red, and the hindmargins of the second to sixth segments 

 and the extreme hind corners of the first segment bear a fairly con- 

 spicuous yellow fringe, which may be widen into shallow triangles 

 about the middle of the second and third hindmargins (or sometimes
