?. Black, head, pronotum, pleurae, base of metanotum and bands, broader than long and extended 

 backwards along the sides, near the apices segments 1 — 4, the bands not reaching" to the middle, of pale fulvous, 

 longish pubescence, the temples, centre of mesonotum and metanotum, the lower side of the pleurae and the 

 sternum thickly covered with black pubescence; the hair on the legs black; the outer side of the four hinder 

 tibiae thickly covered with depressed white pubescence, on the apices of the hinder tarsal joints the pubescence 

 is white, on the lower part of the metatarsus soot-coloured ; wings fuscous-violaceous, spotted with hyaline in the 

 middle. L. 12 mm. 



Face and clypeus closely, uniformly punctured, the transverse apex of the latter smooth, the front and 

 vertex more strongly punctured, more sparsely round the ocelli. Mesonotum and scutellum closely and distinctly 

 punctured, the former depressed in the centre, the depression wide, deepest in the centre. Scutellum not flat 

 as usual, and distinctly punctured, narrowed slightly towards the apex, which, in the centre, is roundly depressed ; 

 the sides tuberculate above; it does not project over the metanotum. The apices of the first and of the fifth 

 and sixth abdominal segments project obliquely at the apex. Mandibles rufous at the base. 



This species has not the flat, plate-like, projecting scutellum of the typical species of the genus, but 

 otherwise appears to be typical Crocisa.

<3. Black, with the following patches of snow- white pubescence : the lower part of the front, face, clypeus, 

 except at the apex, outer orbits, a line on the sides and base of the mesonotum, a line in the centre, extending 

 from the base to opposite the base of the tegulae, an irregulär spot on either side of the apex of this line, a 

 broad line on the sides, close to the scutellum, a line or spot on the centre of the scutellum, along the centre of 

 the incision, sides of metanotum, the greater part of the pleurae,. a large patch on the sides of the mesosternum, 

 a broad band on the base of the ist abdominal segment, united by a band down the sides to a long band on 

 either side of the apex, and broad bands on the sides of the other segments. The apex of the femora, outer 

 sides of the tibiae, and the greater part of the tarsi (in fresh examples probably the whole) thickly covered with 

 snow white pubescence. Wings fuscous-violaceus ; the costal cellule in front, the first discoidal on the apical 

 half, the greater part of the other discoidal cellules, an irregulär hyaline cloud near the middle of the radial 

 cellule, a narrow one along the fore margin of the ist cubital, from the base of which a similar streak runs 

 obliquely to the 2nd cubital cellule, and a cloud along the outerside of the 3rd transverse cubital, and of the 

 2nd recurrent nervures. The sides of the incision on the scutellum are straight, oblique, not curved and incised 

 in the middle as in C. scutellaris, but more as in C. picta; but not so deep and without any widening in the 

 middle, at the base; the outer sides are straight, oblique. The centre of the last abdominal segment is roundly 

 transverse, followed by a rounded depression, the outersides being dilated into projecting teeth; the epipygium 

 is roundly, broadly dilated in the middle. L. 15 mm.

The middle joints of the flagellum are roundly dilated below; the last is laterally obliquely compressed; 

 the 3rd is about one-third longer than the 4_th. Labrum closely and strongly punctured; the upper three-fourths 

 are clearly, widely, deeply furrowed in the middle; the upper half projects largely over the lower.
