$ . Tegulae and streaks on vertex of thorax white ; bands on 

 metathorax and abdomen yellow ; the first four abdominal bands 

 narrow. Wings shot with purple. Pore wing with the hyaline 

 patch in interno-median interspace not extending to near outer 

 margin ; only a small spot between veins 2 and 3, and the sub-

J . Frous pale yellow ; collar, tegulae, meso- and metathorax

 vertex ; the black parts shot with green ; wings yellowish hyaline ;
