9 . Clypeus punctured at the sitles, smooth in the middle, 

 opaque, very broadly rounde<l at tlie apex. Head rather 

 closely punctured, the area round the ocelli almost smooth, 

 the punclurcd spaces covered with short, coarse, fulvous 

 pub<'scence. Thorax closely punctured, more sparsely on the 

 middle of the mesotiotum and scutellum, clothed with fulvous 

 pubescence, closely on the pronotum and sides of the meso- 

 nolum, more sparsely elsewhere ; the surface of the posterior 

 tiuncation of the median segment smooth. Abdomen opaque 

 above, shining beneath, with a lew scattcied punctures; 

 segments 2-5 with an apical fringe of fulvous hairs, paler 

 beneath than above, the apical segment rugose with fulvous 

 Seta?. 



Black ; mandibles and femora fusco-ferruginous ; tibije 

 and tarsi ferruginous ; dorsal segments 1-4 with a transverse 

 apical band o£ orange, broad on the three basal segments, 

 narrow on the fourth ; ventral segments 2-3 with a narrow, 

 short, transverse yellow baud on each side on the apical 

 margin. Wings fluvo-hyaline, slightly clouded with fuscous 

 beyond the apex ot the radial cell; nervuies ferruginous. 

 'J he second recurrent nervurc is incomplete and does not 

 reach the cubital nervure. 



Length 27 mm. 



(J . The foini and sculpture are very similar to fonnosa^ , 

 but the seutellum and postscutellum are more closely j)une- 

 tured. As in the female, the second recurrent nervure is 

 incomplete, not reaching the cubital nervure. 



Black; the abdomen strongly glossed with blue; clypeus 

 (except a triangular black spot on the middle), the outer 

 margins of the eyes narrowly, the inner margins as high as 

 the emargination i>f the eye, the pronotum, the base ot the 

 tegula?, a shoit line above the tej;ula>, a large sp«jt on each 

 side ol the seutellum, a transverse band on the postscutellum, 

 a rather narrow transverse band at the apex of dorsal seg- 

 ments 1-3 (otten interrupted on the third segment, and on 

 the second and third ventral segments), the femora beneath, 

 the anterior tibise above and the ant rior tarsi yellow. Wings
