NESOSELANDRIA CRASSA (Cameron) 



Selandria crassa Cameron, Biol. Central. Amer. Hymen., vol. 1, 1883, p. 19. 



One female, from Porto Bello, Panama, collected March, 191 1, by 

 August Busck, agrees fairly well with the unsatisfactory description 

 of Selandria crassa, and also agrees with manuscript notes from the 

 type. 



PROSELANDRIA, new genus 



Type. — Proselandria megalops Rohwer. 



Related to Nesoselandria Rohwer, but separated from it by the 

 simple tarsal claws. 



Belongs to Selandriini. Clypeus truncate ; malar space wanting ; 

 eyes very large, strongly converging to the clypeus ; posterior orbits 

 practically wanting ; lateral ocelli well below the supraorbital line ; 

 pentagonal area wanting ; pedicellum subequal in length with the 

 scape, much longer than broad ; prepectus very large, divided by a 

 cephal-caudad suture ; no accessory suture on the mesoepisternum ; 

 tarsal claws simple ; hind basitarsis distinctly shorter than the follow- 

 ing joints united ; venation of the normal type ; transverse median 

 vein its length from the apex of the cell ; hind anal cell sessile at the 

 apex. 



To this genus also belongs : Selandria glabra Kirby, Selandria cur- 

 alls Cresson, Selandria luteola Cameron, Selandria leucopoda Cam- 

 eron, Selandria mntica Cameron and Tenthredo delicatula Kirby. 



PROSELANDRIA MEGALOPS, new species 

 Male. — Length 4.5 mm. Supraclypeal fovese not sharply defined, 

 confluent with the antennal foveas ; supraclypeal area convex ; middle 

 fovea transverse, much below the level of the punctiform frontal 

 foveas ; antennal furrows obsolete ; foveae bounding the postocellar 

 area elongate ; postocellar furrow obsolete ; postocellar line subequal 

 with the ocelloccipital line, about half as long as the ocellocular 

 line ; stigma about twice as long as wide, slightly broader near base, 

 truncate apically ; second and third cubital cells subequal in length ; 

 transverse radius received near the middle of the third cubital ; 

 hypopygidium broadly rounded apically. Rufo-ferruginous ; head, 

 antennae, spot on the prescutum, apical three abdominal segments, 

 legs below the femora black ; wings dark brown, venation the same 

 color.
