 of the cellule. Abdomen black, the ventral segments 

 more or less ferruginous, the dorsal segments with broad 

 belts of white, depressed pubescence at their bases, all the 

 segments strongly and closely punctured, except at their 

 extreme bases and apices.

 of the antennae is not distinctly shorter than the fourth,
