322 Alhamj Miisewii Rnorch. 



The apical 3 joints of the anteniice are dark rut'ons : the long spur 

 of the hind tarsi three-fourths of the length of the metatarsus. 

 Third joint of antennt© not much longer than the fourth. Meta- 

 pleura3 weakly obliiiuely striated. Metatarsus of fore legs with 3 

 long spines on the outeiside ; the tibial and tarsal spines of 

 moderate length ; the long claws have no tooth. The pygidium 

 in the specimen described, whatever it may be in fresh examples, 

 has no pubescence, and is pitted all over with little raised points. 

 Female. 



Length 12 mm. 



December. 



Characteristic of this species is the red scape, and the united 

 recurrent nervures. It comes near to N.(i/iafa,iiin. ; that species 

 may be known by the fore tarsi being armed with numei'ous long 

 stiff spines, longer than the joints, there being 5 on the metatarsus, 

 by the 2nd cubital cellule being one-third of the length of the 3rd 

 in front, very slightly more than the space bounded by the 

 recurrent nervures, which are received not far from the base of 

 the cellule ; and the 1st recurrent nervure has not the front half 

 obli(|Uely bent as it is in N. rufoscapa. 



ADuuojihila ditiihrodyennii^, sp. nov. 



Length 19 mm. Male. 



This species is very similar to A. erytJtroi^jnla ; it is a moi-e 

 slenderly built species ; the red colouration on the thorax being 

 present only on the lower half of the meso- and metapleurae and 

 absent from the apex of the metanotum, the 4 front legs are only 

 very slightly marked with black, the occiput is broadly rounded, 

 not transverse in the middle ; and otherwise is easily separated 

 from it, and from .4. (lolic/iodera, Kohl, by the 3rd cubital cellule 

 being only one-quarter of the length of the 2nd. 



Hind ocelli separated from each other by a slightly less 

 distance than they are from the eyes. Clypeus about one-half 

 longer than wide, its apex almost transverse. Pronotum broader 

 than long, sparsely, weakly punctured. Mesonotum transversely 

 rugulosely, but not closely striated. Metanotum closely, trans- 

 versely rugulose. Pleurae rugulose, thickly covered with white
