The radial areolet in the hind wings is not geminated by a 

 transverse nervure. 



Fhogra rubromaculata, sp. now 



Nigra, prothorace mesonotoque brunneis ; pedibus tes- 

 taceis, femoribus posticis fuscis ; alis hyalinis, stigmate fusco, 

 basi pallido. J ■ 



Long.. 3-5 mm. ; terebra, 1mm. 



Antennae black. Head smooth, shining, impunctate. 

 Thorax black ; the prothorax entirely rufous ; the middle 

 lobe of the mesonotum, the sides of the lateral lobes broadly, 

 and the greater part of the mesopleurae dark-rufous. The 

 three lobes of the mesonotum are clearly separated ; the 

 furrows bordering the middle lobe are obscurely striated ; a 

 narrow but distinct knee separates the lateral lobes. Meta- 

 notum closely and finely rugosely punctured, opaque, and 

 sparsely covered with longish pale hairs. Legs testaceous, 

 brighter at the base ; the hinder femora and tibiae infuscated. 

 Wings hyaline, the nervures fuscous, the stigma pale at the 

 base ; the second transverse cubital nervure is fainter than 

 the first ; the first is faint below, and the cubitus is faint where 

 it is received. Petiole closely rugosely punctured, dilated at 

 the sides near the base ; the tracheal grooves are distinct ; 

 the other segments are smooth. The antennae are 31-jointed. 

 There is no transverse nervure in the hind wings. The basal 

 half of the second abdominal segment is depressed at the 

 sides, and bears there two or three striae. 



OPHIONIDES. 

 Paniscus ephijjpiatus , Smith. 



Limneria hudsoni, sp. nov. 



Nigra, pedibus abdomineque rufis ; alis hyalinis, nervis 

 nigris ; tegulis flavis. $ . 



Long., 10mm. ; terebra, fere 4 mm. 



A larger species that L. zealandica, Cam., which may be 

 known from it by the hinder coxae being black and the 

 trochanters yellow. 



x\ntennae black, the scape covered with white pubescence ; 

 below rufous. The clypeus and inner orbits densely covered 

 with white pubescence ; the face shagreened, as are also the 

 front and vertex ; mandibles and palpi rufous ; the man- 

 dibular teeth black, their base thickly covered with white 

 pubescence. The eyes have a green tinge. Thorax entirely 

 black, shagreened, the median segment more strongly than 

 the rest ; the paraptidal furrows are distinct at the base. At 

 the base of the post-scutellum are two large foveae. Near the 

 base of the median segment is a transverse keel, which is
