EVANIA. 427 



to the base ; the furrows along the tegulse wider and deeper. Scutellum almost 

 shining, covered with shallow clearly separated punctures. Pronotum finely punctured ; 

 mesopleurae impunctate, except on the lower part, this part being pitted with round 

 shallow punctures. Metathorax reticulated, the lower region of the pleurae less strongly 

 so. Petiole covered with large punctures, opaque. Hind coxee covered with large punc- 

 tures ; tarsi covered with a stiff fuscous pile, without bristles, except at the apex of 

 each joint ; the hind spurs are a little more than one third of the length of the meta- 

 tarsus ; the claws and front spurs are reddish, and the apex of the anterior femora and 

 tibiae are obscure white in front. Wings obscured with a smoky tint, the space below 

 the costa fuscous ; the apex and an oblique cloud in the first cubital cellule darker ; 

 the recurrent nervure is interstitial. 



The male of E. tinctipennis is unknown to me, as is the female of the species described 

 above. I scarcely think E. albo-facialis can be the male of E. tinctipennis, the differ- 

 ence in the sculpture of the head being so marked. I am not aware that the sexes of 

 Evania differ in sculpture to any appreciable extent.

This species is known to be parasitic on Periplaneta orientalis, and is found all 

 over the temperate and tropical regions of the globe. It was noticed by Mr. Champion 

 on board ship on the Pacific coast.
