cell very short, the costal margin beyond the stigma 110 longer than 

 the first abscissa of the radius. Only two cubital cells ; the second 

 long on the cubitus but very short on the radius, the second abscissa 

 of the radius equal to the first. Second cubital cell receiving the first 

 recurrent nervure just before one-third from the base, the second at 

 the extreme apex.

This is a much larger species than B. quadraticeps Turn., the only 

 other known male of the genus. It differs also in only having two 

 cubital cells, the second transverse cubital nervure having become 

 obsolete. It is possible that this may be the male of B. mutilloides 

 Turn. 



BRAUNSOMERIA COGNATA, sp. n. 



J . Closely resembles B. peringueyi described above, but differs in 

 the shorter antennae, which are scarcely longer than the abdomen, the 

 third joint of the flagellum being distinctly less than half as long 

 again as the second ; the radial cell is shorter, its length on the costa 

 being much less than the length of the first abscissa of the radius, 

 extending on the costa very* little beyond the stigma ; the second 

 abscissa of the radius is also very short much shorter than the first ; 

 the yellow colour on the head and pronotum is more extensive and the 

 legs are almost entirely yellow. The stigma is very pale yellow.

 a sparse fringe of long whitish hairs ; head finely and very closely 

 punctured ; antennae short and very stout, shorter than the thorax and 

 median segment combined, the two basal joints of the flagellum very 

 short, much broader than long, joints 3-8 nearly as broad as long, the
