basal segments testaceous-red. Metathorax not flavous-marked, 

 exareolate, with circular spiracles and a black dot on either side of its 

 apex. Basal segment discally shining and centrally transimpressed, 

 remainder closely punctate to sixth ; the second apically black-lined 

 on either side ; terebra exactly as long as whole body. Hind femora 

 simple ; tarsal claws basally lobate and not pectinate. Wings f ulvescent 

 with apices of both pairs black, the front ones alone with a concolorous 

 band as broad as the stigma and extending therefrom to the sinus, 

 broadly confluent in the anal cell with the apical iuf umation ; nervures 

 of basal half red ; areolet broadly triangular and not petiolate, emitting 

 the subentire recurrent from its apical fourth ; nervelet extending half 

 way to basal nervure ; nervellus subopposite and centrally intercepted. 

 Length, 15 mm. In my table of species (Revis. Ichn. iii, 1014, p. 00) 

 this female should stand next to H. Jiviaa, Tosq. The alar infumation 

 resembles that of H. bifasciata, though not extending along the inner 

 margin of the hind wing, as in that species. 



The type (in foil, auct.) was taken by C. A. Wiggins at Entebbe in 

 Uganda during June, 1012, and presented to me by Ernest A. Elliott,

Its author precedes this species with a query, as though doubtful 

 of its right to inclusion in the genus Lissovnfn ; this and, I believe, 

 the majority of the species described by him at Inc. cit. are referable 

 to tne genus Syzeuctus. The differs, as is usual in the genus, 

 considerably in coloration from the <$ , though the sculpture is 

 identical. Head, antennae and thorax black ; clypeus, part of 

 mandibles, sides of face broadly and all the orbits narrowly, 

 stramineous ; propleural margin, subhamate mesonotal lines, post- 

 scutellum and both sides and apex of scutellum stramineous ; 

 metapleural spiracles elongate. Abdomen brick-red throughout, 

 becoming flavescent at apices of the second and third segments ; 

 terebra straight, black and as long (8 mm.) as the abdomen. Legs 

 brick-red, with the posterior discally black and the front coxae 

 stramineous. Wings slightly flavescent, with apices of both pairs 

 truncately and definitely iufumate ; stigma and subcosta testaceous ;
