Submedian cell considerably longer than the median ; second cubital 

 cell sessile, or at most subsessile and longer along the radius 

 than along the cubitus, so as to appear obtrapezoidal.

 coidal cell longly petiolate ; second cubital cell not large.

SCHAUINSLANDIA Ash mead, n. g. 



The affinities of this new genus is clearly with Hdcon and 

 Cenoccelius, and with the exception of the attachment of the 

 abdomen, shows the closest relation with the latter genus. Its 

 generic characters and its position in the group, are, I think, 

 clearly brought out in my table, and little more may be said 

 of it: the head is large, quadrate or subquadrate ; madibles biden- 

 date, the upper tooth the longer ; maxillary palpi long, 5- join led , 

 the first joint the shortest, the third the longest, the second sonie- 

 icJiat dilated towards one side at base; labial palpi ^- joint id, 

 much shorter; antenna" i6-jointed in S. femora ta, the first and 

 last joints of flagcllum the longest, about equal in length ; wcso- 

 notal furrows distinct ; scutellum u'ith a crcnate furroic across flu- 

 base ; metathora.v not or very incompletely arcolatcd. \\~ings 

 similar in venation to Aspicolpas \Vesmael, but i^ith the snbme- 

 dian cell much longer than the median, and icifh the second cubital 

 cell quite differently shaped, being obtrapezoidal, nerer quadrate. 



This genus is dedicated to the distinguished Director of the 

 Museum, Dr. Hugo Hermann Schauinslancl. 



(4) Schauinslandia femorata n. sp. 



9. Length 5 to 6 mm. Head, except a spot on the vertex, the an- 

 tennae, except the last three joints, the abdomen and the legs mostly fer- 

 rugineous ; spot on vertex, enclosing the ocelli and extending forward to 

 the base of the antennae, black ; palpi, trochanters and tarsi white ; him! 

 coxse black ; hind femora dark red, their tibia; fuscous. The frontal de- 

 pression of the head is transversely wrinkled, but with a distinct median 



* Mr. Marshall claims the genus fromachus Marshall was never published. 1 dispute 

 this; the name was published in 1887, in a table furnished by him (or Cresson, vide Cres- 

 son's Synopsis of N. A. Hym., p. 61, line 23.
