glabrous and sparingly punctulate except the last one which is 

 densely hairy, and the second segment is simple. 



This species is not unlike in general appearance a minute example 

 of H. yrauidula, but the shape of the prothorax is quite different. 



Length 4 mm. ; width li mm.

MYRMEDONIA HIETELLA, n. sp. 



Straw-colour, with the antenme and the frontal part more darkly 

 flavescent ; frontal part with a transverse impression in front of 

 the antennae, and a broadly triangular tubercle between them, the 

 oyes are very large, the surface is very sparsely punctulate and 

 pubescent ; antennae very long and massive considering the size of 

 the insect, second joint one-fourth shorter than the third, fourth to 

 ninth in the shape of a broadly truncate cone, slightly wider at 

 apex than at base, set close to each other, eleventh as long as the 

 two preceding ones taken together, these joints are very briefly 

 pubescent, but not setulose at the apex ; prothorax broader than 

 long, and with the anterior and posterior paits conspicuously 

 broadly rounded, there is a deep, broad depression extending along 

 the outer sides and continued along the base, and on the surface are 

 scattered long, bristle-like setge ; elytra broader than the prothorax 

 at the base, and much more so at the apex where they are some- 

 what arcuately truncate, on the surface are scattered a few punctures 

 bearing a long, partly decumbent whitish bristle ; the basal five 

 segments of the abdomen are sparsely punctulate, each puncture 

 bearing a minute hair and on the sides are long black upright bristles 

 which are also found on the lateral part of the abdomen, these 

 bristles are more numerous on the sixth segment, and they are 

 whitish and more setuliform on the last one. 



A very distinct species.

MYEMEDONIA CONIFEEA (Fauv. In lift.), n. sp. 



Male : Frontal part black, labrum, the three basal antennal joints 

 and the legs rufo-flavescent, prothorax rufescent, elytra reddish- 

 brown, abdomen testaceous with the three penultimate segments 

 black, antennal joints other than the three basal rusty-brown, but 

 the apical part of the last is flavescent ; frontal part with a large 

 tubercle above the cpistoma, but with the occipital part not im-
