suture by an equally broad, slightly arched stripe, which reaches 
humeral spot; a black notopleural stripe, sutural callosities 
yellow. Pleura shining black, reddish on propleural region; 
mesopleuron with a broad yellow patch, continued below with 
a broad rounded spot on upper part of sternopleuron ; a double 
yellow hypopleural spot; mesophragma entirely shining black. 
Scutellum entirely yellow with a very narrow black basal stripe ; 
it has only the apical pair of bristles. All the bristles black; 
middle scapular strong, but shorter than those of outer pair; 
pteropleural well developed ; prescutellar long ; one anterior 
supra-alar. Squamuke dark, with pale hairs; haiteres whitish. 
Abdomen rounded, with distinct segmentation, broader than 
thorax, reddish, finely punctulate, rather shining, with a short 
pale yellowish pubescence. Whole of first and second segments 
narrowly black on sides and with a black transverse stripe on 
the middle not extending to sides; hind half of second segment, 
beyond the transverse black stripe, paler and more yellowish; 
third segment black at base and on sides, forming thus a second 
black crossband, the latter broadened laterally and extending 
to the black sides; fourth and fifth segments black on sides; a 
black middle stripe, very narrow at the black basal border of 
third segment, becoming broader on fourth and fifth segments 
and reaching the end of the last; fifth segment entirely shining, 
its usual patches not distinct. Venter entirely reddish, with 
black borders ; ovipositor entirely reddish and shining, flattened, 
with basal segment a little infuscated apically. Legs and coxae 
pale yellowish, with hind tarsi whitish; middle tibiae black on 
basal and whitish on apical half; hind tibiae quite black; the 
short pubescence of legs with the color of the parts on which 
it occurs; spur of middle tibiae black. 
Wings (Plate I, fig. 6) hyaline and iridescent, proportionally 
' narrow; second longitudinal vein straight; third slightly bent 
downward at end; last portion of fourth vein slightly curved 
at base; small cross vein beyond middle of discoidal cell. Pat- 
tern very simple, consisting only of a narrow brown fore border, 
which includes the darker stigma, extends below not beyond 
second longitudinal vein, fills up the end of submarginal cell 
and the whole end of first posterior cell, being there rather broad 
with an oblique inner border and reaching the end of fourth 
vein. Costal cells and the part of first basal cell just above the 
dilated second basal cell infuscated; third posterior cell slightly 
infuscated at base near anal cell, but there is no distinct brown 
anal stripe.
