Anojjliiis (Homonofus) spilonotus, sp. nov. 



Black, with a bine tint ; the pronotum except for a large mark 

 in the centre — broad in the middle, obliquely narrowed towards 

 the base and apex — an irregular, triangular mark — its length more 

 than the width at the base — in the middle of the mesonotum, the 

 scutellum aud the upper part of the propleurse^the mark con- 

 tinuous with that on the pronotum and broadest at the base — 

 orange-yellow ; the hinder tibiae brownish ; wings uniformly dark 

 fuscous, highly iridescent, the nervures and stigma black. Male. 



Length 10 mm. 



Head short, timnsverse behind, rounded in front ; temples 

 small ; eyes reaching to base of mandibles, converging above ; 

 ocelli ..... the hinder separated from each other by a 

 distinctly greater distance than they are from the eyes. Face 

 depressed, the from projecting over it. Apex of clypeus trans- 

 verse, the sides rounded. Pronotum slightly longer than the 

 mesonotum, narrow^ed slightly towards the base ; the apex almost 

 transverse. Mesonotum and scutellum flat, the latter rounded 

 behind. Median segment longer than the mesonotum, flat, its 

 apex slightly, but distinctly, roundly incised, its sides not pro- 

 jecting much above. Spines on tibiae and tarsi long ; the long 

 spur of hinder calcaria two-thirds of the length of metatarsus. 

 Third cubital cellule much narrowed above — about one fourth of 

 the length of the second ; below, shortly but distinctly, longer 

 than it ; 1st transverse cubital nervure roundly curved ; the 2nd 

 straight, oblique ; the 1st recurrent nervure received near the 

 apex ; the 2nd shortly beyond the middle of the cellule. The 

 transverse median nervure interstitial ; the cubitus received 

 shortly- before the transverse median in hind wings. Antennal 

 scape stout, about 3 times longer than broad, cylindrical, narrowed 

 at the base, as long as the 1st joint of flagellum, which is, if 

 anything, longer than the 2nd. 



This species has considerable affinity with H. Wasmcinnt, 

 Brauns., which may be known from it by the pronotum being 

 "twice so broad behind as it is long in the middle"; and "the 

 median segment as long as it is broad at the stigmas," while the 

 pronotum in the present species is broader at the apex than it is 

 long in the middle and the metanotum shorter than its wadth 

 at the stigmas.
