Halticella osmicida. Plate 40. 



This insect is parasitic upon Osmia tridentata. The upper figure 

 represents the female ; an enlarged view of the posterior leg is given 

 on the right of the plate. The lower figure is the male. 



HoMALUS NANUS. Plate 22. 

 This small Lut most beautiful insect is parasitic upon Nitelopsis 

 pisonoides. The specimen from v\-hich the figure is taken was bi-ed 

 from that insect hj Sir Sidney Smith Saunders. 



AXTHER.EA MACROPHTHALMA. Plate 88. 



This species is figured from the type specimen, which is in very 

 bad condition, some parts of the wings being almost destitute of 

 scales. I think, however, that Mr. Wilson has given a very good 

 representation of the insect as 'restored.' 



EUD^MOXIA ARGIPHONTES. Plate 30. 



Some copies of this plate were issued in which a small detached 

 spot in the front wings was accidentally omitted. It is very small 

 and should be between the dark basal stripe and the four discoidal 

 spots. 



Brahm^a nigeans. Plate 29. 



As there are important characters in the markings of the wings 

 on the underside of this species, one pair of wings has been repre- 

 sented as detached and reversed. 



GONOPHORA INDICA. Plate 0. 



This species was figured from the type specimen, which has 

 imperfect antennaa, and is otherwise not in good condition ; but 

 it was the only example available.
