whicli run pitchy bands, parallel with the lateral margins of seg- 

 ment and joining anterior angles of metathorax ; a narrow cross 

 band in the anterior portion ; a median longitudinal ventral 

 patch, darker in anterior portion ; postero-lateral margins nar- 

 rowly edged with pitchy brown. Metathorax about as long as 

 prothorax, with slightly concave anteripr, and truncate posterior, 

 margins ; sides very slightly convex, diverging, bordered with 

 numerous fine hairs ; two pustulated hairs in the middle of pos- 

 terior margin and one on each side in the middle portion of the 

 segment, just with the lateral bands; whole anterior portion of 

 segment pitchy brown ; lateral pitchy bands, narrower anteriorly, 

 join the abdominal bands; a median brownish patch divided 

 longitudinally by a clear narrow line running the entire length 

 of segment; regions between median blotch and lateral bands, 

 clear pale brown. Legs long and stout, with anterior pair 

 smaller, with femora and tibiae all margined with pitchy brown ; 

 interior portion clear, obscured in femora by a central patch of 

 brown ; femora with a row of pustulated hairs along anterior 

 margin ; a few on tibiae. 



Abdomen large, spindle-shaped, with lateral angles scarcely 

 visible and sides fringed with numerous fine hairs of different 

 lengths, longer posteriorly ; posterior margins of segments al- 

 most straight with a transverse series of pustulated hairs of dif- 

 ferent lengths, the shorter hairs arising from smaller pustules ; 

 heavy lateral pitchy bands from segment one to the middle of the 

 ninth, unbroken at the suture, and having in segments" two to 

 eight three clear pustules, one in the anterior and two in the 

 posterior portion of the segment, from which arise rather long 

 hairs ; clear pustules at the spiracles on segments three to eight ; 

 inner border of lateral bands rather uneven, fading into a wide, 

 clear, submarginal longitudinal band, on which is a longitudinal 

 row of very fine, short hairs, together with many scattering ones 

 of the same size; median, transverse, deep brown bands on seg- 

 ments one to eight, separated transversely by narrow clear su- 

 tures, and longitudinally by a clear line in segments one and 

 two, and interrupted by clear spots on remainder; sides of trans- 

 verse bands uneven and separated from lateral bands by the clear
