bhyaline, the
nervures ferruginous; the tibiae with scattered spines, the tarsi
spinose.

4. LARRADA AURIFRONS. _L._ nigra; facie mesothoracis metathoracisque
lateribus aurato pubescentibus, abdominis marginibus segmentorum trium
basalium argentato piloso fasciatis; alis fuscis.

_Male._ Length 8 lines. Black; the face and outer orbits of the eyes
clothed with golden pile; the lateral margins of the mesothorax and the
metathorax thinly clothed with golden pile; wings dark fuscous with a
violet iridescence; the three basal segments of the abdomen with fasciae
of silvery pile.

5. LARRADA PERSONATA. _L._ capite thoraceque nigris, abdomine
ferrugineo.

_Female._ Length 8-1/2 lines. Head, thorax, and legs black; the two
former closely punctured and thinly covered with short cinereous
pubescence; the metathorax with the punctures running into transverse
striae in the middle; the sides of the thorax and the legs with a fine
silky silvery-white pile; the tibiae and tarsi strongly spinose; wings
fusco-hyaline; abdomen entirely red, smooth and shining.

The _male_ is smaller, and has the four apical segments of the abdomen
black, the face, cheeks, and apical margins of the segments of the
abdomen with silvery pile.

_Hab._ Celebes.

This is probably merely a variety of _L. simillima_, wanting the black
apex to the abdomen; it very much resembles the L. _anathema_ of Europe.

hyalinis, venis pallide testaceis; abdomine sericeo-piloso.

scape in front, the mandibles, and palpi ferruginous. Thorax: the sides
and beneath with a thin silvery-white pile; the legs ferruginous with
the coxae black, the posterior pair red beneath; the thorax closely
punctured, the metathorax transversely striated; wings fulvo-hyaline,
the nervures pale-testaceous. Abdomen shining, very closely and
delicately punctured; thinly covered with a fine white silky pile, which
is very bright on the margins of the segments, which are slightly
rufo-piceous.

The _male_ closely resembles the female, and is similarly sculptured and
coloured.

_Hab._ Celebes.

7. LARRADA FESTINANS. _L._ nigra; facie abdominisque marginibus
segmentorum argentato-pilosis.

_Female._ Length 3 lines. Black; the face and cheeks thinly covered with
