 sclerite entirely black laterally, reddish brown elsewhere. Submentum 

 with whitish membranous part; lateral and median sclerites in form of 

 small, reddish brown, triangular plates, median sclerites with a large, 

 brown seta at anterior margin. Stipes reddish brown, with a narrow, dark 

 brown stripe at posterior margin; lateral seta moderately long, light brown; 

 distal seta small, darker. Palpifer relatively large, reddish brown; apical 

 I seta small, dark brown; basal seta small, light. 



Mentum dark reddish brown; posterior margin blackish; ventral rods 

 with small light seta. Palpiger narrow, horseshoe-shaped, reddish brown. 

 Labial palps with reddish brown sclerite. 



Pronotum (Figure 488, A) yellow, with variegated punctate pattern; light 

 stripe along median suture; anterior margin narrow, dark brown; lateral 

 margin yellowish; groove in anterior third with golden brown stripe in 

 middle; posterior margin brown, light brown in middle; posterior-angle 

 process with narrow, black, lateral stripe and small sclerotized dots; black, 

 transverse stripes wide, clearly separated. 



Mesonotum (Figure 488, B) pale yellow, with brownish pattern. Anterior 

 margin curved, brown, with a narrow blackish stripe laterally; posterior 

 margin black in middle and laterally, anterior and posterior margin with 

 light, median space near suture; lateral margin broadly black in posterior 

 half connected with posterior lateral area. Surface without punctation 

 near suture (except 2 small, indistinct dots); light median areas of anterior 

 and posterior margin form a light, longitudinal, median band; lateral 

 areas darker; groups of median dots in anterior and posterior part situated 

 on brown background, as in oblique row of dots at anterior corner; sclerite 

 pale yellow laterally, whitish posteriorly laterally, with broad, short, 

 black striation; examination of dark specimens under low magnification 

 shows 5 longitudinal stripes on surface; a median, 2 light lateral, and 

 „„„ 2 dark intermediate stripes. 



Anterior sclerite of metanotum (Figure 488, C) consisting of 2 fused 

 sclerites, light in middle, forming a continuation of the light band on 

 mesonotum; posterior median sclerites irregularly triangular, chestnut 

 brown; lateral sclerite pale yellow, with a transverse band of a pale dot 

 and 2 reddish brown lines, lateral line with black dot in middle, anterior 

 part of sclerite with indistinct dots at base of setae, posterior part with 

 pale punctation at margin. 



Propleuron with wide, reddish black, pleural suture; epimeron yellowish 

 brown, angular posteriorly, with narrow, blackish margin on median side 

 and partly laterally; seta near suture short, strong, dark; trochantin 

 mainly black, seta situated distally, brownish, both setules situated more 

 basally at anterior margin, and distinct. Pleurites of meso- and meta- 

 thorax chestnut brown, darker than in H. ma gnus ; punctation in anterior 

 part of episternum indistinct, coarse; fine, and dense along suture. Horn 

 and thoracic sternites as in Figure 489. 



Legs reddish brown; tibiae and tarsi distally with wide, distinct, black 

 cross -stripes; apical part of trochanter and subapical part of femur dark;
