Ferruginous red ; antennae, eyes, legs, and tegulae blackish ; hind 

 coxae testaceous. Wings dusky hyaline, strongly glossed with violet ; 

 inner margin of the hind wings clear hyaline. A second specimen 

 (also a female) has the middle and side lobes of the thorax, and the 

 scutellum as well as the prothorax and pectus on one side, almost 

 wholly black, while the prothorax and scutellum on the other are of 

 the ground-colour. The fore wings are clearer towards the hinder 

 angle than in the type of erythrosoma, Leach, which I have just 

 described. The second specimen only differs from Fabricius's descrip- 

 tion of coccinea by the black colour not being confined to the middle 

 of the thorax.
