large, handsome species with narrow, coloured bands on the abdomen. It is distinguished from the other South Mrican species of the genus by the combination of brassy-yellow hairs on the thorax and silvery-white hairs at the base of the abdomen. The antennal club is bright, slightly reddishorange in colour.

. Head black, extensively yellowish dusted in a broad strip along each of the inner orbits. A bushy, bright yellow pile present, more brassy on the frons and arranged in a tuft on each side. Face protruding prominently, reddish-brown on the sides, black in the middle and along the epistome. Vertex sunken. Frons with two adjoining depressions separated by an elevated bare ridge in the median line. This ridge merges anteriorly with a raised, bare, shining black area immediately above the antennae. Occiput black, yellowish dusted in a broad strip bordering each posterior orbit. Occipital pile white, becoming shining yellow on the vertex; longer below. Immediately behind the upper corner of each eye is a group of short, stiff, testaceous hairs. There appear to be seven postvertical bristles arranged in a line on each side, the inner two the longest, the others becoming progressively shorter outwards, the last three separated a little from the others. Antennae as long as four-fifths of the transverse diameter of the head. Basal segment short, stout, piceous, a little longer than broad. Second segment annular, shorter than broad, not even half the length of the first segment, fuscopiceous. Third segment very long, six times as long (including the terminal club) as the two basal segments together. There is a slight constriction between the stalk-like basal portion and the terminal club, the ratio between the two being 7: 5. Basal portion with a very narrow annular thickening at the extreme base; a slight tubular thickening occupies the apical third; black, with a faintly greyish sheen. Constriction between basal portion and terminal club pitch black, without a sheen. Terminal club shaped as illustrated, with a truncated tubercle on the apex; black basally, suddenly becoming bright, slightly reddish-orange. The anterior half of the under surface of the club, including the apex, is covered with a fine pruinescence that is brownish in some positions, silvery (especially around the margin of this area) in others. Proboscis shining black, two-thirds as long as the antennae.

Propleuron with two thin tufts of long, yellow hairs. Sternopleuron and hypopleuron bare; mesopleuron almost bare, except for a strip of shortish yellow hairs along the upper part of the extreme hind margin. Pteropleuron with some scattered, fine reddish hairs; metapleuron with two tufts of similar though more numerous hairs. Scutellum shining black, bare.

The posterior margin is bordered by a bare, depressed strip on each side, the two not quite meeting in the median line. Second tergite with a strong transverse depression just behind the anterior margin, the depression bare and shining; remainder of tergite dull black, finely wrinkled over most of the upper surface; there are some silverywhite hairs bordering the anterior depression, and a dense tuft of similar but longer and erect hairs on each side, merging with the lateral tufts of the first tergite.

These bands are broadened laterally in an anterior direction, only slightly on tergite 3, progressively more so on the succeeding tergites; on the seventh tergite the lateral portions of the band occupy nearly all of the sides of that sclerite. Sternites 2 -6 reddish-brown, the posterior corners slightly brownish-yellow; with a fuscous strip in the middle of the posterior margin-this strip is wide on the second sternite, progressively smaller on the succeeding sternites, virtually absent on the fifth and sixth.
