These specimens so closely resemble bombycinus that they may almost be taken to represent still another distinct variety. As they, however, differ in certain essentials, it is desirable to refer them to a separate species. Body black; greater part of scutellum, the sides of abdomen, broadly on tergites 2-6 and even to a certain extent the narrow hind margins of the apical tergites and the greater part of venter ferru- ginous reddish; face, genae and head below yellowish brown to brown- ish and not black as in bombycinus; legs with the femora and tibiae entirely yellowish or yellowish brown, though the front and middle tibiae may be darkened on anterior surfaces by blackish scaling, especially towards their apical parts, with the greater part of tarsi.
