4. Labia pictipennis, new species. 



A large rather robust black species with ferruginous head, small black eves and 

 yellowish testaceous legs in which the tegmina and wing-sheaths are each provided 

 with a large conspicuous spot ot a bright yellowish orange color. The pronotum also 

 more or less strongly bordered at sides with yellowish testaceous, sometimes its disk 

 anteriorly likewise ferrugineo-testaceous. Antenna- 13- to 15-jointed, the two basal 

 and one half of the third of the same color as head, the third and fourth joints from 

 the apex are pale testaceous, remaining joints black. Whole insect sparsely clothed 

 with rather long stiff hairs or bristles which are especially noticeable on the hind 

 edges of femora and abdominal segments. Pronotum small, narrower than the head, 

 about as long as wide, a little narrowed behind, the latter margin rounded ; anterior 

 half of disk roundly convex, with a well-marked longitudinal sulcus which becomes 

 very pronounced on the depressed posterior half where it seems to issue from between 

 two diverging, backward pointing carinre. Tegmina about two and one half times as 

 long as broad, their apices slightly obliquely docked ; wing sheaths reaching a little 

 beyond the apex of the second abdominal segment. Abdomen somewhat broadening 

 at middle; last dorsal segment about twice as wide as long, a little narrowing behind, 

 and provided above with faint longitudinal grooves or scratches. Anal forceps simple, 

 short, heavy, triangular, their inner edges not quite touching at base, bluntly toothed 

 or crenulate within, the tips crossing. 



Length of body, rj\ 16-17 mm.; of forceps, 2.55 mm.
