 hoi Iv, which is the hasal joint of the antennae, ami which In- tor,- < -a refill studs- 

 was taken for a heak, and the insect therefore placed anion^- the Elemiptera. 

 The head and thorax have the form and attitude of the Rhipiphoridffi ; tin- 

 ex e is oval, twice as long .is broad ; the basal joint of the antenna' enlai 

 slightly from base to apex and is nearly as long as the head ; an inellectual 

 attempt was made to uncover the parts beyond and reveal the striirtup 

 the remaining joints. The head and thorax arc delicately scabrous rather 

 than punctate, or punctate with the punctures run together transversely in 

 an irregular manner. The el\ tra are almost as long as the body, three and 

 a half times as long as their basal breadth, the sutural margin perfectly 

 straight until the rounding of the extreme apex begins, the outer margin 

 broadly sinuous, the elytra shortly beyond the base diminishing rather 

 rapidly in width a-* far as the middle, then subeipial to just before the tip, 

 which is half as broad as the base, strongly rounded, almost equally on each 

 side; the tip has been uncovered since the plate was made, and is in no 

 sense pointed, but the inner side is subrectangular though rounded ; th.- 

 surface is punctured, not deeply, the punctures separated bv considerably 

 more than their own diameter; the outer border is finely marginate, at least 

 in the basal half. The win^s are ample, exceeding when closed the length 

 of the abdomen, and when expanded surpassing by one-fifth the elytra: 

 the\ show at least four principal veins radiating from the base, -ome, of them 

 distinctly forked, and none showing marks of a transverse fold.
