the short second joint and this second joint with a rather short upper 

 end-process and with a circlet of short black bristles around the tip 

 which are rather longer on the underside ; third joint about three times 

 as long as the basal joints together, and its broadest part hardly wider 

 than the thickest part of the first joint, with a small dorsal hump 

 crowned with a few tiny black bristles apparently before the middle 

 or near the base of the first annulation ; basal annulation of the third 

 joint wholly two and a half times as long as its broadest part, with 

 the lower margin not straight but slightly bent below near to the 

 middle rather than to the base, this bend usually bearing two or three 

 inconspicuous very tiny black bristles ; style-like portion brownish with 

 the apical annulation almost always blackish, wholly one and a half 

 times as long as the rest of the third joint, the three basal annulations 

 about the same in length and width and each one nearly quadrate 

 but very little wider than length, the apical one somewhat conical and 

 about one and a half as long as the preceding annulation, each an- 

 nulation bearing two or three fine pubescence about the tip but on 

 the apical one there is a few more fine inconspicuous pubescence on 

 the underside. Eyes bare from pubescence, and with the facet.'; all 

 equal in size, in death deep greenish black with some metallic shimmer 

 in. a light, and with three inconspicuous deep purplish bands which 

 are almost parallel with one other and are upturned at the outer ends, 

 and which are vaguely united together about the rounded outer-angle 

 of the eyes, of which the middle one is usually narrowest and extends 

 from just above the frontal angle to about the middle of the outer 

 margin, while the upper band is less curved and is shortest, the lower 

 one being broadest and longest ; when seen from above the frontal 

 margin wholly two thirds as long as, the hind margin which is nearly 

 straight and usually rather convex, the outer margin slightly but 

 moderately curved outwards especially about the posterior thirds, the 

 top angle about TOO J and the frontal angle about 60; in profile 

 irregular ovate, and about two-thirds as long as it is deep, the frontal
