tibial spur on the intermediate and posterior legs double, the claws 
toothed. Abdomen black, the petiole smooth and shining, having a 
fulvous-red streak below and two yellow spots at the apex above, 
the rest of the abdomen finely pitted, the Ist segment with two spots 
at the base followed by two larger submarginal spots, and the 2nd 
segment with a sub-basal band interrupted in the middle bright chrome- 
yellow, the remainder of the segments above unmarked; on the ventral 
surface the Ist segment has two oblong basal spots, and the 2nd seg- 
ment two small round submarginal spots chrome-yellow. 
This species belongs to the section of the genus which live in pairs, 
building a large globular nest such as figured in my former paper in 
this Journal. 
Like all the species of the section it is rare, The type specimen 
was kindly given me by Mr. Weston, Deputy Conservator of Forests, 
and was taken high up on the Salween river. Subsequently I procur- 
ed two others on the flowers of a wild species of Lantana in the 'layoy 
district.
