Easily known by its elongated body, with the abdo- 

 men broadly banded with red, the reddish legs with 

 black femora and white posterior trochanters, &c. 



The red band on the abdomen varies in size. Some- 

 times there are four red segments, in some specimens 

 only two. I have also seen specimens having the ante- 

 rior trochanters white.
