  The 
  examples 
  from 
  Eiversdale 
  are 
  smaller 
  than 
  those 
  from 
  

   Worcester, 
  and 
  the 
  intermediate 
  and 
  posterior 
  tibiae 
  are 
  black 
  ; 
  but 
  

   in 
  some 
  of 
  the 
  examples 
  from 
  Worcester 
  the 
  basal 
  part 
  of 
  all 
  the 
  

   tibiae 
  is 
  black 
  or 
  darkly 
  infuscate.

  Black,

  pale 
  testaceous

  shape 
  and 
  vestiture 
  of 
  the 
  

   preceding 
  species, 
  but 
  the 
  prothorax 
  is 
  less 
  densely 
  villose, 
  and 
  the 
  

   black 
  hairs 
  are 
  mixed 
  in 
  the 
  dorsal 
  part 
  with 
  white 
  ones 
  ; 
  the 
  five 
  

   bands, 
  instead 
  of 
  being 
  sapphyrine, 
  are 
  opaline 
  with 
  a 
  golden 
  sheen 
  ; 
  

   the 
  scutellum 
  has 
  no 
  scales 
  ; 
  the 
  elytra, 
  in 
  addition 
  to 
  the 
  fuscous- 
  

   black 
  decumbent 
  hairs, 
  bear 
  a 
  few 
  seriate, 
  erect, 
  white 
  ones 
  longer 
  

   but 
  as 
  numerous 
  as 
  the 
  black 
  erect 
  ones, 
  and 
  there 
  is 
  along 
  the 
  

   suture 
  a 
  narrow 
  band 
  of 
  golden, 
  opaline 
  scales, 
  a 
  very 
  much 
  broader 
  

   one 
  along 
  the 
  outer 
  margin, 
  and 
  a 
  few 
  scales 
  along 
  the 
  base 
  ; 
  the 
  

   propygidium 
  and 
  pygidium 
  are 
  clothed 
  with 
  long, 
  villose, 
  black 
  and 
  

   white 
  hairs, 
  and 
  are 
  set 
  with 
  numerous 
  scales 
  which 
  are 
  also 
  

   somewhat 
  abundant 
  on 
  the 
  abdomen 
  ; 
  pectus 
  clothed 
  with 
  greyish 
  

   hairs 
  ; 
  anterior 
  and
