 the upper tooth is longer than the lower. Thorax closely and 

 strongly punctured all over ; the apex of the scutellum less strongly 

 and closely punctured and tinged with yellow ; there is a large black 

 mark, of equal width throughout, extending from the base to the 

 middle ; and there is a mark of similar size, but transverse, across 

 the base, close to the scutellum. The middle segments of the 

 abdomen are streaked with black. Areolet triangular, the pedicle 

 slightly longer than the branches ; the recurrent nervure is received 

 in the middle ; transverse median nervure received beyond the 

 transverse basal. 



LiSSONOTA MAESHALLI, Sp. nOV. 



Head and thorax lemon-yellow, largely marked with black ; the 

 abdomen rufous, the basal three segments at the apex narrowly 

 marked with yellow ; the four front legs lemon-yellow, the base of 

 the anterior coxae and the femora lined with black behind ; the hind 

 legs rufo-testaceous, their coxae broadly lined with black, within and 

 without, the basal joint of hind trochanters black, the apical yellow ; 

 the hinder tarsi infuscated. Wings hyaline, the apex with a smoky 

 cloud ; the ai-eolet slightly longer than wide, rounded, not much

 edges, the mesonotum except two somewhat triangular spots at the 

 base, the part bordering the scutellums, two large triangular marks 

 on the metanotum, extending from the base to near the apex ; the 

 outer side straight, the inner roundly curved, and there is a square 

 yellow mark on the outer side of the base ; a line along the sides and 

 top of the mesopleurae, the line on the apex broader and irregularly 

 dilated in the middle, the basal line being also broader below. Face 

 closely and finely punctured ; the clypeus smooth. Thorax closely
