1. EvANiA STRIATA. Tota nigra; facie argeuteo-sericea ; thorace 

 punctato. 



Female. Length 3i lines. Black ; the clypeus and lower portion of 

 the cheeks longitudinally strongly striated, and covered with glittering 

 cinereous pubescence ; the antennae longer than the body and ob- 

 scurely fulvous beneath. Thorax coarsely punctm-ed ; the sides and 

 truncated portion of the metathorax covered with cinereous pubes- 

 cence ; the anterior and intermediate tibiae and tarsi as well as the 

 apical portion of the anterior femora rufo-testaceous ; the vrings hya- 

 line and iridescent, the ner\TU-es black ; the lower posterior angle of 

 the marginal cell rounded. Abdomen : the petiole two-thirds of the

Hab. Makassar. 



G-en. FoENATOPUS, Smith. 



The head globose ; the antennre elongate, half the length of the body. 

 The prothorax elongated into a narrow neck ; the wings with an 

 angulated marginal cell, the submarginal and discoidal cells obsolete ; 

 the posterior tibiae incrassate, with two or three stout teeth beneath, 

 which have a number of finer denticulations between them. Abdo- 

 men elongate ; the first segment formed into a long petiole. 



This genus is characterized and formed for the reception of 

 tliose species of Megischus in which the submarginal and discoidal 

 cells are obsolete ; all the species possess the characters of the 

 genus Megischus, differing only in the neuration of the wings. 

 Mr. Westwood described a species of this subdivision in his mono- 

 graph of the family, uJider the name Megischus indicus. I am 

 acquainted with six or seven species, inhabitants of Malacca, 

 Borneo, and Port Natal.
