covered with long white hair ; the thorax and base of legs with 

 silver}^ pile. 



Length 12-14 mm. 



Antennae stout, the third joint, if anything longer than Ith ; 

 temples very short, almost obsolete ; the occiput transverse ; hinder 

 ocelli separated from each other by a somewhat greater distance 

 than they are from the eyes ; clypeus roundly convex, its apex 

 almost transverse ; malar space distinct ; eyes converging below, 

 large above ; the head becomes gradually wider from the top to 

 near the base of the antennae ; pronotum as long as mesonotum, it 

 becomes gradually, but not much, narrowed from the apex to the 

 base ; its apex arcuate. There is a narrow, but distinct furrow, on 

 the sides of the mesonotum ; metanotum broader than long ; the 

 base with a distinct furrow in the centre, which becomes narrowed 

 towards its apex ; the apex of the segment has a rather steep slope; 

 its sides project on the upper part, the projection dilated above, 

 and to a less extent below ; the upper being rounded ; 2nd abscissa 

 of radius longer than 3rd ; the apical obliquely curved upwards 

 not very straight ; transverse basal nervure interstitial ; 1st 

 recurrent nervure received near the base of apical third of cellule ; 

 the 2nd almost in the centre ; cubitus in hind wings interstitial; 

 1st and 2nd transverse cubital nervure oblique, straight ; the 3rd 

 roundly curved ; claws with a median longish tooth ; the long spur 

 of hind tibiae extends slightly beyond middle of metatarsus ; tibial 

 spines short, sparse ; abdomen sessile. 



In Ashmead's sj-stem this species would come into Tacliy- 

 2wm2nlus if it were not that the first joint of the tlagellum is not 

 " very elongate."

 in length ; the middle joints slightly produced at their apices 

 below ; wings clear hyaline, the apex of anterior smoky from the 

 3rd transverse cubital nervure ; the 2nd abscissa of radius a little 

 shorter than the 3rd ; both recurrent nervures received shortly 

 beyond the middle ; the transverse median disanctly beyond the 

 transverse basal ; the cubitus in hind wings shortly beyond the 

 transverse median. Male.
