Bands stretching forward indefinitely to ocular bands. Near and between the occipital bands at the level of the hypopharynx, 2 stronger hairs and 2 minute hairs on each side. One short hair base of occipital band. One short hair between ocular spot and posterior incurved end of antennal band. Thorax. Protliorax. One or two locking bristles below occiput. Two hairs at postero-lateral angle. Metathorax. Expanded at the sides posteriorly. Posterior margin straight till near postero-lateral angle where it curves back making a hooked corner, across which is a row of 7 long hairs (4 before and 3 behind the angle), one spine (short) anteriorly in front of the row of long hairs. On the metasternurn are two long straight chitiuous incrassations. Metathorax pointed over abdomen. Abdomen. — Band in two spots on segment 1, on others entire. Chaetotaxy as follows (Tergites only detailed) :—. Lateral angle Post-median Lateral angle 1234567 1222224 6 7 7 6 5 2 2 1 2 2 2 2 2 4 The 8th segment not definitely separated from 9th by sutures. Eighth tergite with 4 hairs at postero-lateral angle. The 9th tergite triangular FIG. 3.—E. TAURUS, with the apex djstiuctly bilobed. On each lateral edge 6 hairs. Ninth sternite underlapping greatly—its posterior edge slightly concave merely—almost straight. On the under surface bearing numerous long hairs, of which about 18 appear at or beyond the edge on each side. The arrow-shaped "penis" has a short, thick neck and a triangular head not evenly rounded apically. In the 2 the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd joints of the antennae are considerably shorter than in the $ . The bands of the hind region of the head differ also. In the 3 the occipital bands run indefinitely from the occipital spot towards the eye. In the 2 a narrow band commences at each of the posterior temporal angle
