pale band, however, runs from the tubercle towards the anterior 

 border ; the rest of the cephalothorax ochraceous with symmetrically 

 arranged black patches, the posterior border being marked with 

 three patches, one median and one on each side near the lateral angle ; 

 each of the tergites, except the last, marked with three longitudinal 

 black bands, the lateral being complete, and the median interrupted 

 in the centre ; there is in addition a smaller spot on the posterior 

 border on each side of the middle between the median and lateral 

 bands ; the last tergite with an anterior median spot and on each side 

 two anteriorly abbreviated posterior bands, the edges of the tergites 

 anteriorly black ; tail with black patches along the keels, the vesicle 

 without spots, the apex of the aculeus black ; legs and palpi spotted 

 as in maculatus. 



Cephalothorax with its anterior border widely and angularly excised 

 in front, mostly granular throughout, very closely granular in the 

 ante-ocular portion. 



Tergites granular throughout, the granules being a little coarser in 

 the posterior half of the body ; the lateral keels of the seventh tergite 

 complete behind, abbreviated in front where they are united by a few 

 larger granules. 



Tail slender, parallel-sided, long, about seven times as long as the 

 cephalothorax; the keels prominent and conspicuously and evenly 

 denticulate throughout, the posterior denticle of the superior keels of 

 the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th segments only being larger than the rest, 

 the intercarical spaces weakly and sparsely granular, the median 

 lateral keel complete on the first segment, entirely absent on the 

 others, the fifth segment with its upper surface lightly convex, 

 excavated only posteriorly and very shallowly in the middle line ; 

 vesicle serially granular and sub-carinate beneath, a conspicuous 

 triangular spine beneath the aculeus which is only gently curved. 



Sternites mostly smooth, the 4th and 5th feebly granular laterally, 

 the 6th furnished with four conspicuous anteriorly abbreviated 

 granular keels, of which the external are posteriorly abbreviated and 

 the internal posteriorly complete. 



Palpi, long ; the humerus furnished with five granular keels, two 

 posterior, an upper and a lower ; three anterior, an upper, a median 

 and a lower, intercarinal spaces also granular, lower surface nearly
