postocularibus aurantiacis. Pronotum et mesopleura maculis 
magnis aurantiacis ornata. Scutellum juxta marginem suuin 
posteriorem et postscutellum fascia interrupta aurantiaca ornata, 
Yeoule pallide; alee subflavo-infuscate. Tibi tarsique ferru- 
ginei, illisaut externe aut subtus nigricantibus, articulis tarsorum 
nonnullis etiam plus minusve infuseatis. Abdominis segmenta 2 
basalia aurantiaco-fasciata, fasciis haud latis, fere zequalibus. 
Clypeus levissime emarginatus, parce subtilins punctatus, inter 
puncta majora parce subtilissime punctulatus, opacus. Pronoti 
truncatio (parte media excepta) fortiter elevato- marginata. 
Mesonotum fortiter densissime punctatum, postscutello inermi. 
Abdominis segmentum primum quam densissine punctatum ; 
secundum dorsale dense nigro-tomentosum, basi haud convexim 
elevata; ventrale, post suleum transversum, fortissime elevatuin, 
elevatione summa conspicue prominente. Tegule opace, punctis 
paucis majoribus exceptis, impunctate. Long. 13 mm. 
This appears to be a very distinct species, but the single 
example is much abraded, and the flavescent appearance of the 
wings may be partially due to age, but on the other hand these 
may be still yellower in fresh examples, as the stigma itself is 
more or less pale in colour.
