of fuscous brown, down the middle of which there is a narrow 

 black line ; sides of the fuscous-brown stripe marked by a 

 single row of long black hairs. Scutellum glistening- white, 

 with long black hairs on posterior poition. Halteres long, 

 densely haired ; club moderate. Abdomen light yellowish- 

 red, densely covered with long grey or black hairs. Legs 

 long and slender, everywhere covered with short black hairs, 

 which are more numerous on the fore femora and less nume- 

 rous on the tarsal joints than elsewhere. Wings pellucid, 

 densely pubescent ; violet, red, and blue reflections. Costal 

 veins testaceous, but becoming red towards the apex of the 

 wing; cross-veins pale, nearly straight, diverging from first 

 longitudinal about four times the length of cross-vein from 

 end of first longitudinal ; second longitudinal thin, with a 

 deep bow before cross-veins, reaches wing-margin beyond 

 the apex ; both branches of the third longitudinal indis- 

 tinct. 



Female. Size of body, 0-121 ; ovipositor, 0-044 ; antennae, 

 0-146; wings, 0-153. Joints of antennse, 2 -f 25 ; pedicels 

 short ; joints cylindrical near base, but becoming orbicular at 

 the apex ; last joint two and a half times length of previous 

 joint, subcorneal. Thorax darker than in the male, cunei- 

 form stripe separated into two narrow linear fuscous-brown 

 stripes approaching one another, and becoming lost opposite 

 the base of the wings. Abdomen darker than in male, but 

 otherwise similar. Ovipositor long, needle-shaped, same 

 colour as abdomen. Verticils not so long as in male.

Ejndosis agricola, n. sp. Female. Antennae, 0-052; body, 

 0-090 X 0-011; wings, 0-119 x 0011. Antennae longer than the 

 head and thorax, 2 + 11 joints ; joints nearly cylindrical, with 

 short pedicels; pedicels of lower joints shortest, those of central 

 joints largest; joints gradually decreasing in size from below 

 upwards ; verticils few and scattered. Palpi bright-red, with 

 a few scattered black hairs. Collare testaceous. Tborax a 

 uniform pink colour, with two shallow and narrow grooves 

 extending from the collare, where they are widely separated, 

 to the base of the wings, where they are close together ; a 

 few scattered black hairs on the grooves and sides of the 

 thorax. Scutellum rather brighter in colour than the thorax, 

 with a few hairs on the posterior border. Halteres long, with 

 white glabrous pedicels ; club white and glabrous. Abdomen 

 of a lighter pink than the thorax, with a few scattered hairs on 

 the segments. Legs long and slender, covered rather thickly 

 with short black hairs. Wings pellucid, thinly covered with 

 black hairs. Second longitudinal vein bent in a short arcua- 

 tion before junction with cross -vein, afterwards strongly 

 bowed, and terminating beyond the apex of the wing ; both
