Black, shining; the face, clypeus, labrum, inner orbits, 

 the outer narrowly above, entirely below, base of inaudibles, 

 palpi, a Une on the pronotum, an interrupted one on the 

 lower edge of the propleurae, two lines on the mesonotum, 

 obliquely narrowed on the inner side at the base, the scu- 

 tellnm, except for a mark iu the centre at the base and 

 apex, post-scntellum, two large marks on the apex of the 

 metanotum, narrowed below and prolongea upwards on the 

 inner side and laterally extending on to the apex of the 

 spiracular area, the tubercles, a large, irregulär mark ou 

 the mesopleurae, ronndly dilated upwards in the middle, the 

 apex of the Ist and 2 larger irregulär marks on the sides 

 of the other abdominal segments, pallid yellow. Legs pallid 

 yellow, the 4 front femora behind and afc the base in front, 

 the hinder coxae except above, the hinder femora, the extreme 

 base of the hinder tibiae, their apical third, the 4 front 

 tibiae broadly at the apex and the tarsi, black. Antennae 

 broadly annulated with white. Wings hyaline ; the stigma 

 fusco-testaceous, the nervures blacker. — Length 16 mm. 



Face and clypeus strongly, but not closely punctured ; 

 the vertex more closely and distinctly punctured, the front 

 very smooth and shining. Thorax closely and distiuctly punc- 

 tured, the meta- more closely and strongly, than the rest ; 

 the base of the metanotum and the areola shagreened, 

 opaqae ; the posterior median area closely rugose, the top 

 closely reticulated. Post-petiole closely longitudinally striated 

 in the centre ; the 2 I1( i, 3 r( l and 4th segments closely punctured 

 and striated at the base in the middle, the centre closely 

 striated ; the gastrocoeli smooth, with 2 stout striae on the 

 inner side at the base and 2 indistinct ones on the outer, at 

 the apex. 



The areola is not bounded by a keel behind and is not 

 clearly defined. The markings on the body and the colour 

 of the legs are paler than in the other species which hâve 

 them bright orange-yellow ; the wings, too, are paler, more
