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

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

 lias destroyed the antenna-, no legs are preserved, and the apical portion of 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

 the middle and apical discoidal cells straight and not x.ig/.ag. The eyes are 

 large and prominent, and by the preservation of the specimen it is evident 

 that they shared in tin- considerable variegation of the body by being of a 

 light color with a basal dark aunnlus, 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 ami anteriorly, but divided 

 li\ a middle dark line which expands in front and behind to a stripe. Tin- 

 metathorax is mostly light with a mesial dark stripe. The abdomen i> li^lit. 

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

 iJKpla (hen- transverse instead of obliquely longitudinal) of a dark color; 

 the>e prominence-. ; nv largest on the first and second segments, where tln-v
