172 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 



cubital, the transverse median behind the transverse basal. Radial 

 cellule long, lanceolate. Transverse median nervure in hind wings 

 broken below the middle. Abdomen narrow, as long as the head and 

 thorax united ; the first segment long, the basal half narrowed ; it is 

 nearly as long as the following three segments united ; spiracles placed 

 behind the middle; a triangular depression at its apex; the second and 

 third raised in the middle, the raised part bordered behind by furrows. 

 Hind coxa? about six times longer than thick ; the trochanters long ; 

 both united are longer than the femora, which are stout ; tibia? long, 

 calcaria short ; basal joint of tarsi longer than the others united. 

 Claws simple. Antenna? slender, filiform, longer than the body, 

 narrowed towards the apex. Palpi long. The antenna? are not 

 densely haired ; the first abdominal segment is transverse at the 

 apex ; the second longer than wide ; the head is not dilated behind 

 the eyes ; the front tibiae slender, not inflated. At the apex, laterally, 

 the metanotum projects into blunt teeth. Stigma distinct, linear. 



The affinities of this genus may be left over for discussion 

 when the female becomes known. Very probably the female 

 antenna? are broken, as in Cyanoxorides and Spiloxorides. The 

 hind legs (and especially the coxa?) are much longer than they 

 are with these genera. 



CffiNOSTOMA FILICORNIS, sp. 110V. 



Black ; lower part of clypeus, labrum, palpi, the orbits — the hinder 

 broadly — edge of pronotum, scutellum, the metanotal tubercles, and 

 the apices of the abdominal segments — the first band dilated at the 

 sides — the second, third, and fourth in the middle, and the ventral 

 surface, pale yellow. Legs pale yellow, the hind femora fulvous ; the 

 apex of hind coxa?, trochanters, apex of femora and of tibia? more 

 broadly, yellow. Antenna? much longer than the body, fuscous, a 

 broad white band before the middle. Wings hyaline, the stigma and 

 nervures black, the former white at the base, <? • Length, 13 mm. 



Kuching. November (E. Shelford, M.A.). 



Antenna? towards the apex covered with depressed hairs. Face 

 punctured and more or less striated ; the rest smooth and shining. 

 Middle lobe of mesonotum transversely striated ; the depressed apical 

 middle part with three longitudinal keels. There are five rows of 

 irregular, longish longitudinal reticulations ; the apical slope with 

 three area?, of which the central is the larger. Pro- and mesopleura? 

 smooth, the metapleura? coarsely reticulated. Base of first abdominal 

 segment smooth, bicarinate in the middle, the rest closely reticulated ; 

 the white apical part obscurely striated laterally, the centre smooth ; 

 the basal part of the second segment punctured, strongly, but not 

 closely, the basal central furrow stoutly, transversely striated, the 

 raised central part longer than its width at the apex, triangular ; that 

 on the third shorter, broader, rounded at the narrowed base.
