 short double pale line near the front, a yellow spot within the inner angle of the 

 hinder prothoracic lobes, and the interalary space with the scutellum &c. spotted with 

 yellow; sides of the thorax almost entirely yellow behind the first suture, before it 

 there is a yellow spot on the collar adjoining a larger one on the prothorax, and there 

 are two small ones on an extension of the black colour below the fore wings ; portions 

 of the hinder sutures, and the middle of the prosternum, especially before the front 

 legs, are also largely black. Legs black, the basal half of the front femora yellow 

 beneath. Abdomen red, the extreme base, and all beyond the eighth segment, black.
