ASPHRAGIS RUBRICOSA, sp. 11OV. 



$ only. A dull closely punctate, rosy species, becoming posteriorly 

 black, with only the anterior femora and tibiae laterally testaceous. 

 Head posteriorly constricted ; clypeus neither basally discreted nor 

 its evenly rounded apex impressed; cheeks not short; juxta-scrobal 

 orbits alone shortly stramineous. Antennae filiform, slender and 

 black with base of the first three or four joints, and the entire 

 scape, rosy. Thorax dull and disc-ally deplanate, with neither notauli 

 nor sternauli ; its sternum black; metathorax strongly and closely 

 punctate, its apical trauscariua subentire and spiracles circular. 

 Scutellum closely and more finely punctate, distinctly a little convex. 

 Abdomen deplanate, no longer than head and thorax, with the three 

 basal segments evenly punctate, remainder black and subglabrous 

 and retracted ; first segment double as long as apically broad, 

 longitudinally rugulose discally, with spiracles before centre ; terebra 

 as long (2| mm.) as three first segments, or two-thirds of abdomen. 

 Legs not slender; hind ones, intermediate coxae except discally, and 

 tln-ir trochanters, black; claws strongly pectinate. Wings hyaline 

 and not broad; radix testaceous, tegulae and stigma black; basal 

 nervure strongly arcuate and subcontinuous through the median ; 

 intercubital nervure slightly longer than distant from second 

 recurrent, of which nearly the upper half is feuestrate ; radius 

 obtusely angled; nervellus opposite and indistinctly intercepted a 

 little below its centre. Length, 8 mm. Stouter, less elongate and 

 more deeply punctate than the last species, from which the colour 

 renders its facies very different, though the neuratiou is similar.
