Lonu- : 14 mm. 



Hab. Borneo (Shelford). 



One of the larger species. Head covered with deep fulvous 

 pubescence, the vertex distinctly punctured, less closely and 

 more deeply at the sides than in the middle ; the front is rugose 

 in the middle, with the sides punctured as in the vertex. Face 

 roundly projecting in the middle and strongly, but not closely, 

 punctured above. Clypeus clearly separated from the face ; its 

 middle depressed ; it is strongly, but not very closely, punctur- 

 ed ; its apex is transverse, with the sides rounded. The 

 pubescence on the thorax is deep fulvous and dense, especially 

 on the pleurae ; the mesonotum and scutellum are closely and 

 somewhat strongly punctured, the base of the scutellum less 

 strongly than the rest. The basal area on the median segment 

 is smooth and shining, punctured round the edges ; the furrow 

 at its base is irregularly striated, especially laterally. Legs 

 densely covered with long bright fulvous pubescence ; the apices 

 of the tarsi rufous. Wings hyaline, with a slight fulvous tinge ; 

 the apex is smoky, with a distinct violaceous tinge, the nervures, 

 except at the apex, are dark testaceous. Abdomen shining ; 

 the apices of the segments fringed, but not very thickly, with 

 fulvous pubescence ; the ventral segments are more thickly 

 fringed with similarly coloured hair. The tegulse are for the 

 greater part rufo- testaceous, the second transverse cubital 

 nervure has a more oblique slope than the first ; the recurrent 

 nervure is received very close to it.
