joint rather stout, abruptly bent soon after its base and thickest at the 

 bend, after which the joint only gradually tapers to an obtuse point, 

 almost four times as long as its broadest part and bearing all black- 

 short depressed bristles almost all over the surface except on more 

 than the basal half of the inner face where it bears no pubescence or 

 bristles. Antennae slender, yellowish red ; first joint obscured by a 

 yellowish grey tomentum, and bearing abundant short black bristly 

 hairs which become longer at the lower apex and are wanting at the 

 lower half of the inner side, about as long as its broadest part ; second 

 joint very small and about one-thirds as long as the basal joint, slightly 

 obscured by a grey tomentum and bearing a complete apical circlet of 

 short black bristles which grow slightly longer at the lower tip and 

 become shorter and sparser at the innerside, the upper apical process 

 somewhat conspicuous ; third joint fully three and a half times as long 

 as the basal two joints together, its basal annulation very slender and 

 slightly broadened about the base where it has a rather short dorsal 

 tooth crowned with some very short black bristles ; style-like portion 

 short and about one-thirds as long as the basal articulation of the joint, 

 slightly darkened and with a short conical blackish apical annulation. 

 Eyes unicolorous, in life bright coppery green, quite bare ; facets all 

 equally small ; eyes in profile much deeper than long, the frontal 

 margin slightly evenly curved forwards, the hincl margin nearly straight 

 but curved strongly about the lower end, the lower margin most curved 

 below, and all the angles roundish ; eyes when seen from in front 

 about as wide as deep, with the frontal angle about 130 and the top 

 angle less than 90. 



Thorax about as wide as long, nearly unicolorous but at the 

 anterior part more yellowish and on the disc there are three rather 

 fine inconspicuous brownish stripes, densely covered with nearly the 

 same coloured tomentum as the face but slightly darker, and clothed 

 with an abundant short depressed 'deep yellow (somewhat greyish) 

 pubescence which grows slightly longer about the margins and which
