the lateral areae smooth at the base, the apex ia stoutly 

 transversely striated ; the posterior median black, with the 

 striae closer and narrower ; the areola is large, longer than 

 broad, its apical half obliquely narrowed ; the teeth are 

 large and rounded at the apex. On the thorax the followiiig 

 parts are black : the base and sides of the median segment, 

 the posterior median area, an oblique line below the middle 

 of the propleurae, the sides of the mcsosternum at the base, 

 and the pleurse before the mesocoxse. The Avings have a 

 distinct yellow tinge to the base of the stigma, the apex 

 with a distinct fuscous-violaceous tint ; the stigma luteous. 

 Abdomen shining, the second and third segments closely 

 punctured; the gastrocceli shallow, their outer side with a 

 few obscure striae. 



The violaceous tint is much more distinct on the apex of 

 the fore wings than in the other species, while the areola 

 differs in being sharply uaiTowed on the apical half.

 centre, the band dilated and rounded at the apex, the space 

 at the base of the scutellum, including the foveas, the de- 

 pression at its sides, the base of the median segment, its apex 

 with the teeth, the black band projecting in the middle, the 

 middle of the propleurae, the mesopleurae round the top and 

 at the apex, the base of the second abdominal segment, its 

 apex narrowly and it has a faint central line, which is narrowed
