  A. 
  punctata, 
  Smith, 
  is 
  apparently 
  closely 
  allied 
  to 
  this 
  

   species 
  ; 
  but 
  no 
  mention 
  is 
  made 
  of 
  the 
  mesonotum 
  being 
  

   furrowed, 
  and 
  the 
  metanotum 
  is 
  said 
  to 
  have 
  a 
  longitudinal 
  

   carina 
  in 
  the 
  centre 
  ; 
  the 
  collar 
  has 
  "a 
  minute 
  tubercle 
  in 
  the 
  

   middle," 
  and 
  the 
  wings 
  are 
  hyaline. 
  

  

  Petiole 
  composed 
  of 
  one 
  joint 
  {Psanunop/iila).

   rufis 
  ; 
  alis 
  fere 
  Jiyalinis, 
  apice 
  fnnatis, 
  nervis 
  nigris. 
  

   Long, 
  fere 
  15 
  mm. 
  

  

  Antennae 
  stout 
  ; 
  pilose 
  ; 
  the 
  third 
  joint 
  about 
  one 
  

   quarter 
  longer 
  than 
  the 
  fourth. 
  Head 
  hardly 
  punctured 
  ; 
  

   covered 
  with 
  long 
  and 
  black 
  hair 
  ; 
  the 
  face 
  and 
  clypeus 
  

   densely 
  covered 
  with 
  silvery 
  pubescence 
  ; 
  apex 
  of 
  clypeus 
  

   broadly 
  rounded, 
  almost 
  sinuated 
  in 
  the 
  middle 
  ; 
  ocelli 
  

   nearly 
  in 
  a 
  triangle 
  ; 
  the 
  posterior 
  separated 
  from 
  the 
  eyes 
  

   by 
  about 
  the 
  length 
  of 
  the 
  third 
  antennal 
  joint 
  ; 
  front 
  hardly 
  

   depressed. 
  Thorax 
  somewhat 
  punctured 
  ; 
  the 
  scutellum 
  

   apparently 
  indistinctly 
  longitudinally 
  striolated 
  ; 
  metanotum 
  

   obliquely 
  striolated, 
  furrowed 
  down 
  the 
  centre, 
  and 
  with 
  a 
  

   keel 
  in 
  the 
  centre 
  of 
  the 
  furrow. 
  The 
  one-jointed 
  petiole 
  is 
  

   a 
  little 
  longer 
  than 
  the 
  second 
  segment, 
  and 
  is 
  covered 
  with 
  

   long 
  black 
  hair, 
  the 
  fifth 
  segment 
  is 
  red 
  at 
  the 
  base. 
  Above 
  

   the 
  second 
  and 
  third 
  cubital 
  cellules 
  are 
  sub-equal, 
  and 
  the 
  

   former 
  above 
  is 
  about 
  three-fourths 
  of 
  the 
  space 
  bounded 
  

   by 
  the 
  recurrent 
  nervures 
  ; 
  the 
  third 
  cellule 
  below 
  is 
  about 
  

   half 
  the 
  length 
  of 
  the 
  second, 
  and 
  is 
  rounded 
  at 
  the 
  apex 
  

   below 
  ; 
  the 
  third 
  transverse 
  cubital 
  nervure 
  bulges 
  outwardly 
  

   on 
  the 
  lower 
  half, 
  then 
  retreats 
  towards 
  the 
  second 
  cubital 
  

   nervure, 
  thus 
  making 
  the 
  third 
  cubital 
  cellule 
  wider 
  below 
  

   than 
  above. 
  Claws 
  reddish. 
  

  

  Owing 
  to 
  the 
  matting 
  of 
  the 
  hair 
  on 
  the 
  head 
  and 
  

   thorax, 
  I 
  am 
  unable 
  to 
  make 
  out 
  the 
  sculpture 
  of 
  these 
  

   parts 
  clearly. 
  The 
  species 
  is 
  a 
  true 
  Psammophila.
