5. BOOTANOMYIA LONGIFASCIATA new siwcies. 



Fciiuilc: — Li'iigth, ].3(j mm., oxcliiclijiy- (]\ i|iiisitor which is cxtriHli'd for ;i loiiKth sli},'htly 

 longer than that of tlio abiiomi'n. 



Pale lemon yellow, tlie wings hyaline; a rather narrow nietallir tureen liTii' down thorax 

 from neck to crosssiitnre on sinitelhim candad of whieh it enlarges and beeomes subtriangnlar; 

 iiroiiodeum witli a large triangular metallic green area centrally, the base against its cephalic 

 margin. Funicle 1 somewhat longer than w ide. somewhat shorter th.an the pedicel ; distal two 

 funicle joints distinctly wider than long; clidi distinctly jointed. Ocelli in a transverse metallic 

 area. Abdomen with two short, metallic grt>en cross-stripes at ]iroximal half, the first somewhat 

 prolonged at its caudal meson. Thorax transversely wrinkled, the scutellnm candad of the 

 transverse suture jiolislicd. Tlie tljoracii- niedi.-in stripe is a little narfower on the scutelUim 

 ceplialad of suture than on the scutum. It runs to apex of scutellnm.

6. BOOTANOMYIA ASHMEADl new species. 



Female: — Length. l.'J.'i nun., excluding ovijiositor which is extruded for a length e(|nal 

 to tbat of the abdomen. 



Runs to loiiiiifdsriiihi but somewhat sui.-iller, the color darker yellow an<l diflVring 

 principally in having the metallic green line down meson of thorax darker and broader, less 

 uniform; in Joii/iifnKcidld this line is luirrower on the scutellnm (ceplialad of cross-suture) 

 than on scutum but its width is uniform within the bounds of each sderite; but in this new 

 species, it distinctly widens caudad both (ui scutum .-md scutellnm; cm the latter its broadening 

 thus leaves only the lateral margins of that region concolorous with the body; its (the line's) 

 broadening on the scutum nmkes that region entirely melallic green a<'ross the caudal part. 

 In lonnifasciata the scntellum distad of the cross-suture is not wholly green, only broadly so 

 along meson, in this species all that jiart of the scutellnm is metallic green. Thi! abdomen 

 liears at least two cross-strijies but uuiy be one or two more than that. Funicle 1 a little 

 wider than long, distinctly shorter than the usual pedicel, the i>l hers gradually shortening and 

 widening distad. Antenna- pale yellow.

7. BOOTANOMYIA AEREA new species. 



Fcnialf: — The stime as im.r but .-ill coxa' metallic- grecui. the first two pairs of femora 

 dusky, the hist ]iair black ami the hiiul tibia is black just below krn>es; the abdomen is black. 

 In pax, the propodeum is brownish, metallic green in this species (also here the row of oval 

 fovea; along cephalic margin is deejier; both species bear a jiair of converging nu'dian carina^ 

 which curve off ce]dialad to form the caudal bonmlary of the line- cd' foveaO- .\bdonmu 

 glabrous. Funicles 1-2 quadrate, much shorter than the pedicel. 



A second specimen had the propodemn on each side of median carinti finely scaly, 

 the body more robust and the abdomen humped or at the highest dorso-proximal ]iart distinctly 

 elevated triangularly. The specimen |irobably represents another S|iecies.
