AMONOPHADNUS SUBMETALLICUS, new species. 



Female. — Length, 7 mm. Shining. Middle fovea represented by 

 a large shallow area which is open above; antennal furrows sharply 

 defined, interrupted opposite crest; ocellar basin ovate-elliptical in 

 outline, extending above the ocellus, rather well defined; postocellar 

 line distinctly shorter than the osellocular line; postocellar furrow 

 well defined, angulate; postocellar area gently convex, but little 

 wider than long; antenna longer than head and thorax, slightly 

 thickening apically, fourth and fifth joints subequal in length; 

 stigma broadest at base, gradually tapering to apex; second and third 

 abcissae of radius subequal; third cubital as long as the first and 

 second combined; sheath narrow, parallel-sided, apex rounded. 

 Submetallic bluish-black, abdomen more distinctly blue; antennae 

 and legs, except trochanters and tibiae (anterior only posteriorly), 

 which are yellowish- white, black; pubescence whitish, sparse; wings 

 hyaline, iridescent; venation black. 



Male. — Length, 5.5 mm. Hypopygidium truncate. Differs from 

 description of female in having tibiae brownish. 



Type locality. — Pulney Hills, South India. 



Described from two females (one type) and one allotype male col- 

 lected at an altitude of 3,600 feet (about 1,090 meters), May 10-31, 

 1917, by P. S. Nathan. 



Type and allotype.— Cut. No. 22364, U.S.N.M. 



Paratype returned to Government Entomologist of India. 



ZASENOCLIA, new genus. 



Genotype. — Senoclia albocoerulea Bingham (determined Rohwer). 



This new genus is readily separated from Senoclia by the dentation 

 of the tarsal claws and is probably more closely allied to Senoclidea, 

 from which it differs in the following characters: Head flattened 

 dorsally; pedicellum much longer than wide; petiole of anellan cell 

 very short; antennal furrows interrupted; hind basitarsus longer than 

 following joints, etc. 



Belongs to Blennocampini. Anterior margin of clypeus slightly 

 emarginate; malar space wanting; ej^es large, prominent, very 

 slightly converging to the clypeus ; head flat above, the distance from 

 top of eye to occiput but little shorter than the shortest diameter of 

 eye; antennal furrows interrupted below ocelli; pedicellum nearly 

 cylindrical, much longer than wide; interradius straight, joining the 

 radius at an acute angle, and not inclined at same angle as the third 

 intercubitus ; anellan cell practically sessile; tarsal claws lobed 

 basally, cleft apically. 



ZASENOCELIA ALBOCOERULEA (Bingham). 



Two females collected by R. C. McGregor, June, 1918, at Culasi, 

 Panay, Philippine Islands, agree well with the original description.
