dium with chestnut tips ; short, brown, curving- bands from bases 

 of mandibles to frontal margin ; curving pitchy ocular blotches ; 

 short, longitudinal crescent-shaped, brown bands inside of ocular 

 blotches. 



Prothorax large, hexagonal, with anterior margins straight, 

 bluntly rounded lateral angles, concave postero-lateral margins, 

 and rounded posterior margin ; lateral angles with three spines ; 

 pitchy spots in the anterior angles ; narrow, broken, pitchy brown 

 edgings to the lateral margins ; conspicuous pitchy coxal bands, 

 running from the middle of the antero-lateral margins to median 

 portion of segment ; a faint median ventral spot. 



Mesothorax distinctly set off from metathorax, with rounded 

 lateral posterior margins ; mesocoxal bands of pitchy brown very 

 distinct, running from anterior angles of metathorax around the 

 lateral margins of mesothorax, into the posterior angles of pro- 

 thorax; from the ends of lateral bands to middle of segment, 

 then bending sharply back into mesothorax. Metathorax very 

 large (.46 mm. X .62 mm.), clear, with straight diverging 

 sides, very obtusely rounded lateral ang'les and truncate poste- 

 rior margin ; lateral angles with four spines and a very long 

 hair; the posterior portion of lateral margin slightly angulated 

 in the median portion, with one spine; deep brown, dorsal bands, 

 forming a figure 8 across the middle of th.e segment, with short 

 appendages at the ends on the anterior side and long narrow 

 bands curving backward from the posterior portion of ends, 

 into the abdomen as far as the fourth segment. Legs long and 

 stout, clear, with brown spots at tips of femora and tibiae ; 

 numerous short, marginal hairs. 



Abdomen short, almost parallel sided, with segments live to 

 seven much shorter than remainder, two segments, one, eight, 

 and nine the longest, subequal ; sides slightly convex, with a 

 short hair in posterior angles of segments one to eight and a 

 long one in segments one and two, and seven and eight ; poste- 

 rior margins of segments one to seven concave, especially five 

 to seven, eight truncate and nine evenly rounded, with two long 

 hairs on each side, a double fringe of very fine hairs at tip, and 

 a submarginal row of short, stout hairs around the whole poste-
