the apical margin, and near the apex with a complete circlet of tiny 

 black bristles which become sparser on the inner side ; third joint 

 about two and a half times as long as the basal two joints together,. 

 and less than the three times as long as its broadest part ; the basal 

 annulation of the third joint very broad, about one and a half times 

 as long as its broadest part and longer than the style-like portion, the 

 dorsal margin strongly concave .about the middle just before this 

 concavity with the dorsal hump strongly produced up and crowned 

 with minute black bristles, and the ventral margin somewhat angulari- 

 ly convex below the dorsal hump ; style-like portion gradually tapering 

 to a point, with three basal annulations somewhat transversely quadrate,, 

 each annulation bearing two or three minutes blackish pubescence. 

 Eyes moderate in size, when seen from above somewhat flat-triangular 

 with slightly curved outer-margin and with inner-margin apparently shorter 

 than the hind margin, the upper angle about IOO ; in profile conspi- 

 cuously deeper than the length, pear-shaped with a upper part narrow- 

 ed ; when seen from front about as deep as wide, the frontal angle 

 about 145 , the lower angle about uo with rounded angle, the upper 

 angle nearly 90, and the outer angle evenly rounded ; in death deep 

 purplish black with some greenish shimmer without any markings or 

 bands, all the facets in practically equal. 



Thorax large, oblong, very slightly narrowed anteriorily, about 

 two and a half times as long as the head, blackish, closed with yellow- 

 ish brown grey tomentum, and coloured with short recumbent whitish 

 grey pubescence which is intermixed with short but'suberect black 

 hairs all over the surface, both the whitish and black hairs becoming 

 longer denser more erect about the sides ; the dorsal stripes very in- 

 distinct, of which the middle lateral two are somewhat recognisable 

 and bent outwardly on the suture at where these stripes are connected 

 with the broadest side ones, and the middle stripe more faint and not 

 extending throughout but .from the anterior border to about the middle,, 

 while the outerest stripes are broadest and greyish and extend from.
