notum with some large deep punctures, and the head, thorax, 

 and abdomen much less pilose. 



Antennae stout, densely covered with white pubescence, a 

 little longer than the head and tliorax united, the third joint, 

 if anything, longer than the fourth. Head covered with long* 

 soft pale hair ; coarsely punctured all over. Prothorax 

 shorter than the head, coarsely punctured ; the apex depressed, 

 very finely punctured. The mesonotum with wide furrows, 

 the lateral lobes coarsely punctured ; the median lobe with 

 much fewer punctures, there being very few at the base. 

 The scutellum has some widely se])arated punctures on the 

 basal half. The median segment has in the centre three 

 central and four shorter lateral longitudinal keels ; the apex 

 above is reticulated irregularly, the apex itself being semi- 

 perpendicular and reticulated, the reticulations running into 

 punctures. The propleuraj striolated behind, shining ; the 

 mesopleuras coarsely punctured ; the metaj)leura3 striolated. 

 The abdomen is as long as the thorax, smooth, impunctate; 

 the apical segments bear white hair ; the last segment with 

 the apical half pale. The legs are entirely black and covered 

 with white hair. The wings are suffused with a fuscous 

 tint; the costa and stigma are black; the nervurcs at the 

 base pale fuscous, at the apex they are almost obliterated ; 

 the first transverse cubital nervure is very pale, the others 

 and the recurrent nervures are indicated in white, but very 

 indistinctly.

Head densely covered with long soft white hair, strongly 

 rngosely jiunctured, the punctures on the front running into 

 reticulations. Antcnnaj a little longer than the head and 

 thorax united, distinctly tapering towards the apex, densely 

 covered with short white hair ; tlie third joint slightly longer 

 than the fourth. 1'horax shining ; the pro- and mesothorax 

 densely covered with long white hair ; the central part of the 

 mesonotum with the ])unctures large and widely separated, 

 especially towards the a])ex, those on the sides smaller and 

 closer together. Scutellum rather strongly ))unctured, except 

 in the middle towards the apex. The median segment has 

 the basal half longitudinally striated, the striations widely 

 scjiarated, especially towards the middle, where there is a 

 clear space with only an interrupted longitudinal keel; the
