Allied to A. nigricornis, Leach, but easily known 

 from it by the dense fulvous hair on the thorax, by 

 the antennae being distinctly 7-jointed, by the much 

 more deeply incised clypeus, and by the long labrum. 



Ilab. Nagasaki. 



ABIA LEWISII, n.s. 



Metallic bluish-green; antennae black; knees, tibiae, 

 and tarsi, stramineous. Head and thorax finely 

 punctured; densely covered with long black hair; 

 abdomen velvety. Vertex not depressed in the 

 centre behind; the portion between the hind ocelli 

 and the antennae raised; the apex rounded and 

 projecting between the antennae. Apex of clypeus 

 transverse, of labrum rounded, impunctate, piceous- 

 black. Antennae 6- jointed, the apices of the joints 

 oblique. Wings hyaline ; an obscure fuscous oblique 

 band across the transverse median nervure, extend- 

 ing from the costa to the first recurrent nervure; a 

 deeper and much smaller blotch at the base of the 

 first cubital cellule ; the transverse radial nervure 

 received beyond the middle of the second cubital 

 cellule, which is longer than broad, its apex slightly 

 smoky, and its basal nervure with a different 

 slope from the apical, it being oblique. Stigma and 

 costa testaceous, the latter brighter in tint at the 

 base. The femora are covered with longish black 

 hair ; tibiae and tarsi with closer and shorter hair ;
