black; segments 3 and 4 with a little less than the basal half 
of each reddish orange, darker dorsomedially, the remainder 
shiny blue-black; segments 5 and 6 reddish orange, darker 
dorsomedially; segments 7 and 8 blue-black; segment 9 and 
ovipositor obscure brownish orange. Ovipositor with the tergal 
valves elongate, compressed, the tips rather obtusely rounded.

Scamboneura plumbea is very different from the two Phil- 
ippine species of the genus hitherto described. There are now 
five species of Scamboneura, all from Amboina, Java, and the 
Philippines. The two species from East Africa described as 
species of this genus by Speiser and by Riedel are not mem- 
bers of the genus in the sense of Osten Sacken. One, at least, 
belongs to the subgenus Trichodolichopeza Alexander, of the 
genus Dolichopeza Curtis. 
Pselliophora perdecora sp. nov. 
General coloration obscure orange, the abdominal segments 
beyond the second shiny black; legs with the femora bright 
yellow, the tibize and tarsi black; wings dark brown, the base 
rather broadly bright yellow. 
Female.—Length, about 20 millimeters; wing, 20. 
Frontal prolongation of the head orange, the nasus faintly 
darker; basal segments of palpi yellow with brown setz; ter- 
minal segment yellow, the extreme tip darkened. Antenne 
brownish orange throughout; first flagellar segment subequal 
to segments 2 and 3 combined. Head obscure orange. 
Thorax entirely obscure orange, without markings. Halteres 
yellowish orange. Legs with the cox and trochanters concol- 
orous with the pleura; femora bright yellow, the extreme apices 
very indistinctly darker; tibiz and tarsi black, unmarked. 
Wings broad, dark brown, the base rather broadly and conspicu- 
ously bright yellow, this including about the basal fifth of cells C 
and Sc, the extreme bases of cells R, M, Cu, and 1st A, about 
the basal third of cell 2d A and all the cells proximad of ar- 
culus; an indistinct pale area immediately proximad of the 
stigma; a linear white streak in cell R near midlength; a similar 
but smaller streak near the outer end of cell M (lacking in 
one wing of type) and a third streak near outer end of cell 
1st A; veins dark brown, yellow in the flavous basal area; 
obliterative breaks at the end of Rs and base of R,+,, basal 
section of M,+, and the second section of M,. Venation: Rs 
much longer than R,+,, its course subsinuous; R,+, longer
