strongly narrowed to the base, minutely punctured. Second 
joint of the flagellum slightly longer than the third ; the first 
stout and globular, more than half as long as the second. 
Posterior ocelli very far apart, at least three times as far from 
each other as from the eyes, separated from the eyes by a 
distance about equal to the diameter of one ocellus; the 
facets of the eyes very large in front, smaller on the sides. 
Head and thorax subopaque, microscopically punctured ; 
median segment smooth and shining, the basal area well 
defined, the posterior slope divided by a longitudinal sulcus. 
Abdomen subopaque, minutely punctured; second ventral 
segment shining, with a few large and scattered punctures ; 
pygidial area closely clothed with stiff fulvous sete. Third 
abscissa of the radius about half as long again as the second ; 
first recurrent nervure received by the first cubital cell at a 
distance from the apex equal to about half the length of the 
second abscissa of the radius; second recurrent nervure 
received just before the apex of the second cubital cell, 
strongly bent inwards towards the cubitus. Hind tibiz 
feebly serrate. 
3. The eyes are distinctly further apart at the base of the 
antennze than in the female.

This is nearly allied to lucidulus, Turn., from the same 
locality, but is a smaller species, with many more yellow 
markings and differently coloured legs. The second abscissa 
of the radius is shorter in lucidulus and the first recurrent 
nervure is received nearer to the apex of the first cubital cell. 
The punctures are more minute than in duboulay, Turn., 
which is also very closely allied.
