slightly more strongly than the mesonotum, its apex depressed in the iniddle, sides bluntly 

 rounded. Metanotimi with a slightly oblique, straight slope; in centre two keels which slightly 

 converge at base, space between them irregularly striated; part on either side reticulated, 

 widely at base, more closely and finely at apex, the part becoming gradually narrowed toward 

 apex.

4. ANTHROCEPHALUS SPILOGASTER Cameron. Female. 

 Length, 6 mm. 



Black; basal two abdominal segments, upper half of third, sides, hind coxa?, trochanters 

 and femora red; wings hyaline, middle of wings fuscous, slightly violaceous, the cloud fainter 

 beyond the stigma, which is black like venation; four anterior tarsi rufo-testaceous except 

 at base. Temples, pleura?, metanotum, and apices of abdominal segments densely covered 

 with long, white pubescence; mcsouotum and scutellum densely with shorter black pubescence; 

 on tibia) short, white and dense. Frontal depression closely, regularly, transversely striated 

 in the centre; sides transversely striated, with a keel on either side and one down center. 

 Malar sjKice as long as eyes. Apex of scutellum roundly, broadly incised, lateral edges bluntly 

 rounded. Thorax strongly ])unetured, punctures on mesonotum and scutellum clearly separated. 

 Mesopleura;, except at base, closely, regularly, longitudinally striated, the strife becoming 

 shorter below. Metapleurse closely, rugosely reticulated, armed with a stout tooth, which 

 is longer than wide at base. Abdomen nearly as long as the head and thorax combined.

5. ANTHROCEPHALUS POMONELLiE Cameron. Female. 

 Length, 4 mm. 



Black; tegulae, legs and basal four abdominal ventral segments red; wings hyaline. 

 stigma and nervures black; a cloud at marginal vein extending to stigiual branch, faint at 

 the posterior part, which extends to the apex of the anterior third, the dark tinted part 

 wider than long, widened on either side at tlie apex, wliich is covered inwardly; there is a 

 fainter irregular cloud in tlie centre, at end of ;>ostiuarginal vein, placed nearer the anterior 

 than the i)osterior margin ; lower part of orbits, nuilar space, metapleurse, and the apical 

 abdominal segments densely covered with sihery puliescence. Ajiex of scutellum bluntly, 

 triingular biJobate. Metanotum closely reticulated; an area down its centre, about four times 

 longer than wide, of equal width, but slightly roundly n.arrowed at base and apex, irregularl}' 

 transversely striated; at base, on either side, a deep crenulated furrow slightly narrowed on 

 inner side and bounded on outer by a stout, raised keel; beyond this are two roundly curved, 

 oblique keels, uniting before the metanotum, then forming a small triangular area; the space 

 between the two bears seven or eight keels. Mesonotum more widely and strongly punctured 

 than pronotum, scutellum than the mesonotimi. Propleura; above coarsely, umbilicately 

 punctured; below with some stout, irregular keels. Mesopleura? ^vith the centre stoutly, 

 closely, longitudinally striated; this p.art at the base, is bordered by a smooth, flat, shining 

 keel, which bends shortly above the middle, to middle coxip; the space behind this irregularly 

 reticulated; apex above rugosely punctured, below smooth, the top part at the apes bordered 

 by six fovesE in two rovrs of tlirce each. Metajileurai closely, coarsely, umbilicately punctate. 

 Abdomen not uuuh longer than thorax, terminal segments opaque, shallowly reticulated. 

 Apex of fiu-e feuuira and tibiaJ broadly in the niiildle are b'ack; underside of hind femora 

 densely covered with white pubescence. Inner orbits bordered by a stout keel which, at the 

 top, runs round the anterior ocellus, this part being narrower than the rest; space between 

 keel and eyes is crenulated ; hinder ocelli placed outside the keel ; to]i of antennal scape- 

 reaches to ocelli. Malar space slightlv shorter than eyes.
