lower part ; second joint very short about one-thirds as long as the 

 first joint, with a conspicuous rather long process on the upper apex, 

 and with a circlet of short black bristles and without any pale pubes- 

 cence ; third joint (without the style-like portion) more than one and a ; 

 half times as long as the depth of the broadest part; the dorsal process 

 well before the middle, slender, reaching the apex of the basal annula- 

 ticm of the third joint, and curved above and then below, as that in 

 Dichoelacera, furnished with tiny black britsles at the tip, the bristles 

 extending more than two-thirds of the process along the dorsal margin ; 

 style-like portion shorter than two-thirds of the basal annulation and 

 also apparently shorter than the dorsal process, composed of four annula- 

 tions about equal in length, each annulation bearing one or two short 

 blackish bristly hairs at the dorsal apex, the apical annulation being 

 somewhat longer than the others and conical. Eyes practically bare, 

 in profile oval and about three-fifths as long as the depth, when seen 

 from front about as wide as the depth and the blunt angle between 

 the inner and lower margins being about 135" ; in death deep purplish 

 black, without any band or marking. 



Thorax quadrate with rounded angles, greyish black, with two 

 very faint narrow greyish dorsal stripes and broad similar lateral 

 stripes; the dorsal stripes fused together after the suture and between 

 which much more faint very narrow middle stripe exists on the anterior 

 half, the lateral stripes not quite extend to the hindmargin but end in 

 -a point ; humeri distinctly ashy grey with slight yellowish tinge, 

 praealar calli quite ashy grey, and postalar calli obscurely brownish. 

 Pubescence composed of fairly numerous but not conspicuous erect 

 black hairs all over except on the front part at where they are longer 

 and denser though pale, and numerous sloping or depressed thin yellow 

 hairs occur intermixed among the erect black hairs but are easily 

 abraded and leave only traces of their existence, these yellow hairs 

 becoming denser and longer at the side of the disc ; praealar calli with 

 rather long scattered black bristly hairs, and with depressed yellow oirj
