. o- 9 Head of N. pantherinus, male and female. black, slightly bluish, with greyish white shining pubescense; hnmeral cailus small, white, and from this to the wing-root on the side of thorax a narrow white stripe. Abdonien white, the first segment with a black spot in the middle, reaching nearly to the middle of the sec- ond segment, and generally somewhat pointed; fourth segment black at the hind part and fifth segment black on the front part, thus a black transverse spot is formed, not reaching the side margins; this spot varies a good deal in form and extent, often it is vaved on the front and hind margins, or it has a white triangle in the middle, at the hind margin of the fourth segment, or the hindmost margin of the fourth segment is white and the spot thus separated in two bands, often being more or less connected; sometimes the spot is large, going close to the front margin of the fourth segment. Venter white with a black spot at the base, and sometimes a little darkened near the apex. Abdomen is clothed with greyish white, shining hairs, especi- ally distinct at the apex. Femora black with the tips broadly white, tibiæ and tarsi white, hind tibiæ black in the middle nearest to the apex, anterior tibiæ and the tarsi at the ends slightly darkened. Wings hyaline, veins white, stigma very slightly yellowish. Halteres white, the peduncle slightly darkened.
