teuecl. The bristles on the outer side of the middle tibiae are very 

 prolonged and become very slender towards their tip. The first 

 joint of the middle tarsi is of considerable length, ciliated on its 

 upper side with about nine or ten very long, bristle-like black hairs.

Green, face snow-white, antennae black, the first joint upon the under side 

 red ; cilia of tlie inferior orbit pale ; cilia of the tegulse black ; feet yel- 

 low, tarsi partly black ; two last joints of the fore tarsi somewhat thick-

 the trochanter yellow. Feet yellow. Hind femora before the tip 

 with a bristle. Tibiae plain, with rather numerous black bristles ; 

 hind tibiae at the tip not blackened, upon the hind side without 

 glabrous spot. Fore tarsi from the tip of the third joint black, 

 not quite once and a half the length of the tibiae ; their two last 

 joints are only very slightly enlarged, but . closely feathered with 

 bristle-like minute black hairs upon the front and hind side, so that 

 they seem to be rather broad. Middle and hind tarsi plain, from 

 the tip of the first joint black ; upon the upper side of the first 

 joint of the middle tarsi, not far from the tip, there is a stout black 

 bristle. Cilia of the tegulas black. Wings grayish-hyaline, of 

 the usual form ; fourth longitudinal vein not broken and the fore 

 margin, near the tip of the first longitudinal vein, not thickened. 

 The lamellae of the hypopygium of the only specimen which I 

 possess are almost destroyed; I am able to state only that they 

 are yellowish.
