„Head shining, sraooth, bearing a few shallow punctures, especially 

 on tlie face; mandibles and palpi yellow. Scape of the antennae 

 pnnctured. Sides of the pronotum obscurely striated in front. Meso- 

 notnm semiopaque, closely punctured all over, the punctures being 

 more widely separated along the sides. Meso- and metapleurae 

 punctured, obscurely striated. Scutellum iongitudinally striated, the 

 striations large, widely separated, especially at the sides, where they 

 form almost keels; the depression at the base is also striated. Meta- 

 notum punctured, transversely striated in the middle; there is one 

 large median area, the base of which is rounded; on either side is 

 another area of nearly equal length; outside of these again is one 

 which is still longer, as it originates further back; there is a deep 

 depression between the smooth, shining, impunctate postscutellum 

 and the metanotum, which rises gradually from this hollow, it being 

 there smooth and shining to the commencement of the median area. 

 Petiole smooth, shining, hollow in the middle, the sides obscurely 

 inargined, the apex punctured; postpetiole Iongitudinally striated, 

 the striations large, the centre hollow. Gastrocaeli transverse, large, 

 deep, united by a wide furrow, which, like the whole of the segment, 

 is striated; the striation on the abdominal segments is strong, be- 

 coming gradually weaker towards the apex of the third, which is 

 scarcely striated there; the apical segments are not striated, but are 

 obscurely punctured. Coxae punctured. The violaceus cloud in the 

 forewings commences at the base of the radial cellule. 



A specimen from Bugaba has three blackish, almost confluent, 

 marks on the mesonotum. Sometimes the apex of the third segment 

 is blackish and the apex of the clypeus yellow ; the scape is some- 

 times piceous. As in most of the species, the yellow on thorax 

 varies from yellow to fulvones." 



Von dieser hübschen und ansehnlichen Art, welche an die Ten- 

 thredo flava (flavicornis) erinnert, wurden 2 9 von Hrn. Dr. Stau- 

 dinger für das Münchner Museum angekauft, von denen das eine 

 aus Bolivia, das andere aus Chiriqui stammt. 



Die Art zeichnet sich auch durch die stark vortretenden, fast 

 dreieckigen Achselklappen aus.
