Head deep brown, with a few pale scales in the middle ; 

 palpi and proboscis deep brown. Thorax rich brown, with 

 scanty golden scales which are absent on two large median 

 parallel stripes which do not extend quite to the scutellum and 

 on two shorter lateral posterior areas. 



Abdomen almost black banded with creamy yellow. Legs 

 brown, apices of femora and tibiae yellow, many pale scales on 

 the under side of all the segments. 



9 . Head deep brown, with narrow-curved dull grey scales 

 in the middle, dusky at the sides, then flat dusky scales, 

 numerous thin dark upright forked scales ; chaetae black ; palpi 

 deep brown, with long dark chaetae and fine pale hairs, apical 

 segment very minute, penultimate long, antepenultimate small ; 

 proboscis black ; clypeus black, with an apparent median 

 longitudinal sulcus ; antennae deep brown, almost black, basal 

 segment brown, base of second segment and top of basal one pale 

 testaceous. 



Thorax deep rich brown, with a darker median line and 

 sides, ornamented with scales of two forms, ordinary narrow- 

 curved ones and very minute curved ones, the former pale 

 golden, the latter dull brown ; the larger curved scales form 

 a median line on the median dark surface, branching out on 

 each side of the bare space in front of the scutellum, a curved 

 line on each side starting in front of the wings, others forming 

 an indistinct line over the base of the wings and filling up the 

 anterior lateral areas, the spaces between the pale scales at the 

 base of the wings looking like two rich brown nude areas similar 

 to the two long median areas, but in reality they have very 

 minute dull curved scales sparsely scattered over the surface ; 

 scutellum deep brown, with narrow-curved pale golden scales 

 and dark border-bristles, arranged on the mid lobe in two 

 patches, two smaller hairs separating them ; metanotum black ; 

 pleurae deep brown (nude in specimen described). 



Abdomen black, with basal creamy bands and pallid border- 

 bristles.
