42 Psyche [March-June 
medially tapered, golden, pollinose stripe lying in front of the 
transverse suture, broadly interrupted in the middle, but con- 
tinued over most of the posterior part of the mesopleurae. There 
is no trace of pale pollen anterior to the posterior calli, but there 
is a quite obscure, reddish pollinose spot lying upon the meso- 
notum at the base of the scutellum. Pile of the anterior half of 
the thorax short and shining reddish; of the posterior half short 
reddish with considerable black hair around the middle. Pile of 
scutellum wholly reddish, of mesopleurae whitish. Abdomen: 
elongate, with almost parallel sides, the third segment barely 
wider than at the end of the second segment and at the end of 
this segment about as wide as the thorax. Ground color of ab- 
domen black, dull in color, obscurely shining upon the fourth and 
last half of the third segment and posterior corners of second. 
Second segment with slightly oblique, much elongated, narrowly 
connected yellow spots; their lateral ends are rounded and they 
lie on the basal third of the second segment. Viewed from be- 
hind, these spots appear to be completely interrupted. On the 
third segment there are a pair of similar golden-yellow pollinose 
spots which are more slender, reach no closer to the lateral mar- 
gin, but are slightly more pointed laterally and which are nar- 
rowly connected in the middle of the medial ends. On the fourth 
segment there is a transverse, somewhat broader, narrowly sub- 
basal, similar, golden pollinose band shallowly indented in the 
middle near its lateral ends, turning slightly downward in oblique 
fashion; its lateral, somewhat pointed ends do not reach the side 
margins. The spots of the third segment are more transverse 
than either of the other two. The pile of the whole posterior 
two-fifths of the third segment except narrowly on the sides is 
appressed and black; the pile of the third segment is wholly ap- 
pressed with considerable black pile confined to a central area on 
the posterior half, elsewhere it is shining reddish. The whole of 
the pile of the fourth segment is flat appressed and shining red- 
dish. Pollen of the second and third fascia more brownish; that 
of the second segment pale yellow. Legs: all of femora except 
their apical third or less black with sparse greyish pollen and 
wholly pale pile; apices of these light reddish brown. Anterior 
tibiae reddish-brown, dark brown upon the anterio-medial surface 
of the apical half ; middle tibiae wholly light reddish-brown ; hind 
tibiae similar in color, a little darker upon the medial posterior 
margin on the apical half. Anterior tarsi wholly black, the last
