Thorax black, thickly clothed with narrow-curved deep golden- 
brown to bronzy scales, with a distinct ochreous border sur¬

Time of capture .—26. vii. 05. 
Observations. —Described from a single $ . It is a large and 
distinct species easily identified by the apical and basal leg 
banding, apical abdominal banejs and ochreous venter. The length 
of the palpi and short thick proboscis agree with Brevirhynchus ,
