 hairs ; a mark rounded at the base and broader than 

 long at the apex of the clypeus; an elongate somewhat 

 triangular spot, extending from the base of the clypeus 

 to near the front ocellus, the apex of its dilated part being 

 at the top of the clypeus, and the lines are united there by 

 a yellow mark, which is truncated at the bottom, rounded 

 at the top. Flagellum brownish beneath, covered with 

 a microscopic down. Thorax black, strongly punctured ; 

 covered with short white pubescence ; the median segment 

 broadly and coarsely rugose in the middle, the rugose 

 part triangular, and at the apex bearing stout transverse 

 irregular keels ; the sides and apex of the median segment 

 alutaceous, covered with a pale microscopic down. Meso- 

 pleurae rather strongly punctured, the punctures all 

 distinctly separated ; the metapleurae coarsely alutaceous. 

 Legs covered with white pubescence ; the greater part of 

 the fore tibiae and the hinder four broadly white at the
