nervures are fuscous. Petiole aciculated ; an oval, trans- 

 verse yellow mark on its apex, the apex of the second 

 segment and of the third more narrowly, fulvous ; the 

 last segment largely white. 



Dag Aim A, gen. nov. 



Areolet large, longer than broad ; the transverse 

 cubital nervures straight, parallel ; the radial cellule 

 elongate ; the transverse median nervure is received 

 behind the transverse basal. Antennae stout, the joints 

 elongate. Eyes large, parallel. Clypeus with a distinct 

 margin, which is slightly dilated laterally. Occiput 

 sharply margined. Parapsidal furrows distinct. Median 

 segment with two transverse keels ; the spiracles elongate. 

 Petiole elongate ; the apical half dilated, curved ; the 

 spiracles placed near the base of the dilated part. Legs 

 stout ; the anterior tibiae distinctly narrowed at the base ; 

 the tarsi twice their length ; the hinder tarsi spinose ; 

 the fourth joint with a bunch of stiff, stout spines on the 

 apex. 



This genus comes nearest to Etha, but may be known 

 from it by the rugose, not smooth, median segment, 

 by the post-petiole being distinctly separated and defined, 

 by the scutellum being broader than long, and by the 

 transverse median nervure being received behind the 

 basal.
