ri. 10, Fig-. 25. 



The single specimen is preserved on a dorsal view, with the upper 

 right wing turned forward and reversed. The flaking of the stone in front 

 has destroyed the antennje, no legs are preserved, and the apical portion of 

 the abdomen is altogether obscure ; no ovipositor can be seen. The general 

 disposition of the neuration is altogether as in all the figures of Glypta I 

 have seen, but there are several points in it wherein it differs from all of 

 them. The basal cubital cell is much less elongated than usual by the 

 comparatively slight extension of the apical portion of the cell beneath the 

 stigma, consequent upon the brevity of the basal portion of the radius ; the 

 basal discoidal cell is also unusually short and the cross-vein separating 

 the middle and apical discoidal cells straight and not zigzag. The eyes are 

 large and ])rominent, and by the preservation of the specimen it is evident 

 that they shared in the considerable variegation of the bod}" by being of a 

 light color with a basal dark annulus, next which the head was again light, 

 with a dark central portion relieved by a posterior transverse light belt. 

 The thorax was similarly ornamented, the mesothorax having dark sides and 

 a broad mesial light band enlarging posteriorly and anteriorly, but divided 

 by a middle dark line which expands in front and behind to a stripe. The 

 metathorax is mostly light with a mesial dark stripe. The abdomen is light, 

 but with the lateral prominences at tlie base of the earlier joints peculiar to 

 Glypta (here transverse instead of obliquely longitudinal) of a dark color; 

 these prominences are largest on the first and second segments, where the}' 

 nearly touch in the middle, and especially on the second segment, where 

 they are twice as Inroad as on the others, slightlv oblique, but directed
