then along the outer edge to the tegulae, the scutellar keels, basal two- 
thirds of the scutellum, the base of propleurae, a triangular mark on the 
apex above, the tubercles, base of mesopleurae narrowly, a wide mark 
along the lower half, irregularly, roundly incised on the apical half above, 
more regularly and deeply on the basal half below, the apical half obliquely 
narrowed to a narrow point, a semicircular mark below the hind wings, 
a line, dilated at the base, on the top, along the keel and the spiracular 
area from the spiracles, pale yellow. The second and third ventral seg- 
ments are pale clear yellow, the others and the apices of the third, fourth, 
and fifth dorsal, rufo- testaceous. Wings hyaline, the stigma fuscous, the 
nervures black. Legs pallid yellow, the hind femora broadly above, the 
hind tibiae except near the middle and the hind tarsi, black. Male.

Pretoria. October. 
Head and thorax closely punctured, the clypeus less strongly and more 
sparsely than the face ; its apex is broadly rounded, the lateral foveae 
large, deep ; the front is closely, rather strongly striated ; the apical slope 
of the metanotum transversely striated, the striae weak in the middle of 
the posterior median area ; the areola is large, twice longer than it is wide 
at the apex, which is transverse ; towards the base it is roundly narrowed 
from the middle. The second abdominal segment is aciculated.

Black ; the eye orbits moderately broadly, more broadly above, 
where there is a triangular incision, the malar space entirely, the apex of 
the clypeus, the mark with a wide shallow incision above and with a shorter, 
deeper incision in the centre of the apex below, a large mark, of equal width, 
longer than wide, in the middle of the apical half of the mesonotum ; from 
the outer edges of this a line runs to the base of the mesonotum and is 
then continued along the top of the mesopleurae, the basal part between 
the two being dilated ; a line on the upper part of the pronotum, which 
becomes gradually widened towards the apex, a broader line of equal width 
on the lower part of the propleurae, the tubercles, a broad mark on the 
lower part of the mesopleurae, straight above, rounded below, and with 
the apical third roundly narrowed, a large irregular mark on the lower 
half of the metapleurae, the mark continued to the posterior median area 
of the metanotum, the scutellum, its keels and the ventral surface of the 
abdomen, clear yellow ; a narrow testaceous line on the apex of the first 
abdominal segment, and broader testaceous lines, rounded at the base, on 
the others. Legs rufo- testaceous, the coxae and trochanters pale yellow, 
marked behind with black, the knees paler, more yellowish in tint, the 
hind tibiae darker, broadly black at the base and apex. Wings hyaline, 
the nervures and stigma fuscous. Female.

base of the mesonotum yellow, the stemmaticum, metanotum, upper edge 
of metapleurae, first abdominal segment, upper part of second, a semi-
