of the hiud tibiae more distinct, in addition to considerable colour 

 differences. The emargination of the apical tergite is deeper in 

 spoliata.

. Median portion of the clypeus with three parallel longitudinal 

 carinae, the space between the carinae irregularly longitudinally 

 striated. Antennae inserted almost as far from each other as from the 

 eyes, the scape smooth beneath, flattened and sparsely Ipuuctured above, 

 the frontal prominence rounded at the apex between the antennae, the 

 lateral cariuae above the base of the antennae oblique and strongly 

 marked, the space between them rugose and hirsute ; ocellar space 

 smooth and shining, with a few scattered punctured. Thorax coarsely 

 punctured and hirsute, especially on the prouotum and pleurae ; 

 inesonotum more sparsely punctured, the middle of the scutellum 

 smooth and shining ; median segment short, punctured-rugose, hirsute 

 in the middle ; abdomen shining, finely and sparsely punctured, more 

 coarsely on the ventral surface, both dorsal and ventral segments with 

 apical ciliae of coarse black hairs, the apical dorsal segment densely 

 clothed with coarse fusco-ferrugiuous setae. Legs clothed with long- 

 black hairs, spinose, calcaria of hind tibiae spatulate. Third cubital 

 cell almost pointed on the cubitus, the length on the radius equal to 

 fully three-quarters of the length of the second transverse cubital 

 uervure ; second cubital cell petiolate.

This belongs to the group of stigma Sauss. and punctum Sauss. and 

 is most nearly allied to braunsi Turn., differing in the spatulate 

 calcaria, and the denser pubescence which is wholly black, not cinereous 

 on the sides of the thorax and abdomen as in braunsi, the ciliae on the 

 ventral segments in that species being whitish instead of black. 

 Superficially the resemblance to Myzine Idugi Westw. 9 is very close. 

 Described from a single female.
