fascicles or tufts of hair with which several of the 
intermediate joints of the antennae are garnished. 
The species represented has the five lowest joints 
thickly clothed with these hairs, which are of a black 
colour; the apex of the joints and the six naked ones 
at the extremity are yellow. The head and thorax 
are also yellow, the latter having a few spots of

an oval joint, which tapers to a point. The outer 
lobe of the under jaws is narrowed at the extremity* 
and curved upon the inner one. The most re- 
markable insect belonging to the tribe is that
