hindermost yellower and more distinct ; between the hindermost 

 pair runs a yellow stripe, nearly divided into three ; between the 

 front pair runs a series of four spots, of which the middle pair are 

 the smallest and placed most forward ; in front of these are two 

 more yellow spots, edged with black ; the rest of the head is yellow, 

 except the edges of the nasus ; a Y-shaped mark running from 

 between the two last-mentioned pair of yellow spots, and a short 

 stripe running forward from their outer edges ; prothorax black in 

 front, with a triangle of three yellow spots in the middle, and yellow 

 at the sides, beneath, and behind ; mesothorax black above, with a 

 V-spot and two yellow longitudinal lines ; sides yellow, with two 

 black sutural stripes, the upper one divided in front by a brighter 

 yellow spot ; abdomen dull reddish brown, the sutures darker, 

 r)receded by a yellow median spot, edged in front by two short dark 

 lines ; anal appendages rather large, approximating, those of the second 

 segment somewhat less prominent than in M. lineatus ; legs yellowish, 

 darker above. 



Wings hyaline, yellowish towards the base ; five antecubital ner- 

 vures, the first two interstitial on all the wings ; hind wings with a 

 yellow rhomboidal pterostigma, surmounting about 2^ cells ; the 

 extreme base black. 



It is not unlikely that in more brightly coloured or better pre- 

 served specimens the back of the abdomen may be marked with 

 yellow, nearly as in M. lineatus.
