MR. H. i). BADCOCK ON 



which is cut nearly straight and about ^ greatest width of 

 thorax. 



(6) Olypeus very low. Caput slightly convex. Gi'oove shallow 

 and broad. Thorax rises behind it to nearly height of caput and 

 then falls with convex and concave slopes to rim, which is slight 

 but can be traced round to caput. 



Colour mahogany moderate to dark, with black eye-frame 

 broken in front of eye 4 and terminating just below the line of 

 eyes 2 and 4. In dark species this frame is hard to distinguish. 

 Thorax a shade lighter than caput. Between the two on each 

 side a wedge of white hairs broadest below.
