separated ; the mesopleurse are more strongly and closely 

 punctured, except the usual smooth spot on the apex ; the 

 metapleurae smooth, impunctate. The base of the 

 median segment, the supra and the posterior median areae 

 are blood-coloured ; the supramedian is not much wider 

 than long. The median segment has a gradually rounded 

 slope ; at the base of the median segment below the wings 

 is a yellow and rufous spot. The areolet is triangular at 

 the top, the nervures being almost united there. The four 

 anterior coxae, trochanters and lower side of the femora 

 are lemon-yellow ; the rest fulvous ; the hinder legs dark 

 rufous, the tarsi paler ; the hinder coxae black above, and 

 to near the middle, the rest of the sides and their lower 

 side fulvous ; at their base is a large, somewhat triangular 

 lemon-yellow mark. The petiole is, towards the apex, 

 roughly irregularly shagreened ; the other segments are 

 closely punctured ; the gastrocoeli shallow, at the base 

 closely longitudinally striated.
