Pleura yellow, metapleura with a few short, black bristles; prothoracic spiracles yellow. Abdomen yellow with a blackish grey dorsal stripe which is somewhat dilated at the incisures; venter yellow. Abdomen is very sparingly clothed with short, pale yellow hairs, only at the margin of the first segment there are longer and darker hairs. The exterior genitalia are large, the lower lamellæ directed upwards, the posterior edge, which is turned iipwards, is straight and posteriorly drawn out into a process; the upper lamellæ are seen T_ , ,, 1-1 • x- • Fia. 25.

The ventral lamella has some small spines at the apex. The genitalia are yellow, only the upper margin of the upper lamellæ is black; the margins and the posterior process have longish, reddish yellow hairs.
