same side with an other linear chitinous process (apparently- 
made up of hairs glued together), tibiae rather stout, slightly 
curved, the inner margin with scattered hairs from the base to 
the middle, behind the middle fringed with long hairs. 
imitator Uhl. 
3 (2) The spongy pit of the third (J 1 antennal joint dilated on the under 
side, its lower margin studded with spinules, fourth joint armed 
with a spine. Middle coxae in the thicker than the hind coxae, 
trochantera not or scarcely smaller than the hind trochantera, 
femora fringed with long hairs along the whole inner margin, the 
longest hairs being in the middle, tibiae straight, their basal 
half thicker than the apical half. Hind trochantera not incras- 
sated, unarmed. 
4 (5) Mesonotum conspicuously broader than long in both sexes, the 
median yellow spot not or scarcely narrower than the pronotal 
spot. Mesosternum yellow, unicolorous. Second cT antennal 
joint beneath with a slender spine at the base, the curved basal 
part of the third joint three-fourths the length of the whole joint, 
the spongy pit occupying only the apical fourth with a short spin- 
ule at its base, fourth joint about half the length of the third, 
curved from the base to the apex with the spine in the apical 
half. Middle tibiae in the cp fringed with rather short 
hooked hairs on the inner side of the basal half. Hind trochan¬ 
tera in the c? rather thicklv pilose above, femora incrassated 
and strongly curved, fringed with moderatelv long hairs on the 
inner side near the base, the apex with two bunches of long hairs 
glued together, tibiae rather stout, a little curved, attenuated at 
the base and inserted before the apex of the femora in their outer 
side, fringed with rather short and stiff straight hairs on the 
upper inner side and emitting a backwardlv directed fascicle 
of very long hairs glued together from a point somewhat behind 
the base on the inner side. Rilevi Berrr. 
5 (4) Mesonotum scarcely (c?) or slightlv ($) broader than long, the 
median yellow snot distinctly narrower than the pronotal spot. 
Mesosternum yellow with the anterior margin and two poster¬ 
iorly diverging bands brownish black, these bands not reaching 
the posterior margin, dilated near the anterior margin. Second 
c? antennal joint beneath at the base with a small tubercle bear¬ 
ing a fine hair (not visible when the joint is s+ronglv deflected), 
the curved basal part of the third joint one-half the length of the 
whole joint, the spongv pit occunving the anical half with a long 
slender spine at its base, fourth joint scarcely shorter than third, 
curved near the base and at. the extreme apex with the curved 
spine in the basal half. Middle tibiae in the c? fringed with 
short hooked hairs on the inner side from the base almost right 
to the apex. Hind legs in both sexes simple, straight and 
hairless. tenuipes Mein. 
6 (1) Mesonotum much broader than long in either sex. without a median 
yellow spot. Connexivum velvety black. Eves reaching the 
mesopleura. Second and fourth antennal joint in the rj 1 in¬ 
serted rectangularly in the side of the anex of the preceding 
joint, first joint with a submedian snine above and beneath, its 
upper margin sinuate behind the middle owing to the apical part 
of the joint being strongly upturned, second joint beneath at the 
base with a stiff hair (not visible when the joint is deflected), 
third joint with the short basal part straight, the curved apical 
part considerablv thicker than the basal part and more than two 
thirds the length of the joint with a very shallowly impressed 
almost flat spongv pit, theMower^margin of the pit with some 
stiff hairs and its base with a short tooth-like projection, fourth 
joint a litte longer than third, unarmed, rectangularly curved
