Female. — Length, 9.5 mm.; length of anterior wing, 7 mm.; length

 obtusely angled; clypeus coarsely punctured, the anterior margin 

 deeply subsquarely emarginate, lobes rather narrow, rounded api- 

 cally; supraclypeal area gently convex, nearly quadrate in outline; 

 middle fovea rather large, quadrate in outline but connected with a 

 depression from the anterior ocellus; antennal furrows complete; 

 postocellar line not quite half as long as the ocellocular line; posto- 

 cellar furrow wanting; postocellar area flat, slightly longer than

 first joint somewhat longer than the second which is subequal with 

 the third, fourth and seventh joints subequal in length and longer 

 than the fifth and sixth which are subequal; scutum and prescutum 

 polished; scutellum shining but coriaceous, posteriorly with some 

 rather large punctures; upper part of mesepisternum (except just 

 beneath wing) with large punctures; lower part of mesepisternum and 

 the sternum shining, polished; abdomen shining; sheath rather nar- 

 row, straight above, rounded from upper apex; posterior basitarsis 

 subequal in length with the following joints; stigma rounded below; 

 interradius curved, joining the radius a short distance beyond middle 

 of third cubital; third intercubitus twice as long as the second, which 

 is oblique; recurrents joining the cubitus about the length of second 

 interradius from the base of cells; nervulus practically at middle of 

 cell; black; labrum, palpi, apical three joints of antennae, and apical 

 joints of hind tarsi whitish; femora dark rufous, tibiae and tarsi more

Type locality. — Soochow, China. 



Described from a single female collected by N. Gist Gee. 



Type.— Cat. No. 22609 U.S.N.M. 



TAXONUS FLETCHERI, new species. 



Judging from the description this species is apparently allied to 

 AUomorpha pulchripes Cameron, but the following differences are to 

 be noted : Prescutum entirely black, mesopleurae black, supraclypeal 

 area yellow, color of abdomen somewhat different. 



Female. — Length, 9 mm.; length of anterior wing, 8.5 mm.; length 

 of antenna, 10 mm. Labrum polished, the anterior margin broadly 

 rounded; clypeus coarsely, irregularly punctured, the anterior margin 

 deeply, squarely emarginate, lobes rather broad rounded apically; 

 supraclypeal area gently convex, smooth, triangular in outline; 

 depression in front of the anterior ocellus deep, with sloping walls, 

 extending to near bases of antennae, U-shaped in outline; antennal 

 furrows well defined, complete; postocellar line not much more than 

 half as long as ocellocular line; postocellar furrow well defined, angu- 

 late anteriorh T and with a short furrow extending to the anterior
