size ; when seen from above the frontal margin about two-thirds as 

 long as the hind margin which is hardly concave, the outer margin 

 longest and strongly convex, the top angle about 100% the front 

 angle about 65, and the outer angle roundish and about 70": in 

 profile elongate oval, about two-thirds as long as its depth, the frontal 

 margin slightly convex, the remaining margins rather strongly curved 

 outwards, the top angle about 80 and slightly roundish; when seen 

 from in front about as wide as its depth, the facial margin slightly 

 convex and about two-thirds as long as the frontal margin which is 

 not quite straight but inconspicuously convex near the top, the frontal 

 angle more than 135', and the lower angle about 120 and conspicu- 

 ously rounded. 



Thorax rather large, longer than wide, brownish, with greyish 

 or yellowish grey tomentum which is conspicuously dense at the apical 

 part, and with five inconspicuous greyish or yellowish grey stripes 

 which extend from the apical margin to the posterior margin except- 

 ing on the very narrow middle one only at the apical half, and of 

 which the middle three stripes are usually yellowish, while the broad 

 lateral pair is greyer than the rest ones and is interrupted at the 

 suture, and behind that they are more inconspicuous, reaching only 

 to the apical end of the postalar calli ; pubescence on the disc 

 numerous, short, suberect, black, intermixed with a few short fulvous 

 hairs especially about the suture and on the stripes excepting of the 

 narrow median one ; humeri rather conspicuous, covered with some 

 stout sloping black bristly hairs about the upper half and with fine 

 but longer yellowish hairs on the rest ; praealar calli somewhat pinckish, 

 clothed with stout erect black bristly hairs which grow longer below 

 to the lower margin and become distinctly shorter though they are 

 somewhat shaggy about the upper half, where there are some short 

 golden yellow or yellowish hairs intermixed, the long black hairs 

 extending on the intervals between the humeri and praealar calli and 

 becoming thinner though longer there ; postalar calli usually paler
