). The present material agrees well with the description but some of the specimens, less melanistic than the type, differ in having the pale markings (yellow, usually suffuged with ferruginous at the edges) slightly more extensive. Thus the pronotum may have a pair of small transverse streaks antero-medially in addition to the minute spot at the postero-dorsal angle; the scutellum may have the lamella pale in addition to the marking (present in some specimens only) at the centre of the posterior margin; and the gaster has posterior bands on all the terga.

The following are yellowish-white: small spot submarginally on each side of clypeus (in one specimen only); underside of more proximal flagellomeres of club; narrow transverse band (entire or narrowly interrupted) medially on anterior margin of pronotum; streak on humeral angle and spot on postero-dorsal angle; tegula (except for ferruginous median area); transverse mark postero-medially on scutellum; scutellar lamella (usually medially suffused with ferruginous); posterior bands on terga I - VI (that of T I markedly wider than progres
