 (W. F. P., September, 1896).

 large spots above posteriorly. Sternum with 3-4 black spots on 

 each side, the margins sometimes blackened. Femora of legs infus-

 well-marked, nearly straight, dark ridge running near outer margin 

 of the plate from just behind the lateral angles of the genital opening 

 and only slightly converging posteriorly, the edges of the ridges 

 finely wavy, their hind ends far apart but slightly nearer together 

 than the outer angles of the genital opening (PL X., fig. 13).
