 $ . Total length 3 inches 3*75 lines ; head 1*5 ; proth. 1*75 ; mesoth. 

 9-75 ; metath. 4-75 ; abd. 18-25 -f 3*75 = 22 ; antennae 3 inches 5 lines.

The typical specimen of the female in the India (formerly East India 

 Company's) Museum, S. Kensington, a much shrivelled and mutilated in- 

 sect, wanting the terminal segment of the abdomen, is rather larger and 

 consequently proportionately slightly longer as to the mesothorax than the 

 specimen of which the measurements are given above : in it the mesothorax 

 and metathorax exactly measure 13-5 and 5*75 lines respectively.
