cence, the lower furrow not clearly crenulated. The 

 coxae are black ; the four anterior white at the apex ; the 

 four anterior trochanters white ; the apex of the hinder 

 tibiae and the tarsi black ; the apex of the basal joint and 

 the second, third and fourth joints white ; abdomen 

 black ; the apex of the petiole and the second and third 

 segments rufous. The areolet is not much narrowed 

 above ; the second transverse cubital nervure is faint ; 

 the recurrent nervure is received in the middle. 



This species has the antennit of PJiygadneuon, but the 

 second transverse cubital nervure is faint as in Hemiteles ; 

 the lateral areae are not clearly defined through the keels 

 being indistinct. 



Javra, gen. nov. 



$. Antenna; short, not longer than the abdomen, stout, 

 the basal joint of the flagellum not much longer than the 

 second. Head small, narrower than the mesothorax, not 

 much narrowed behind the eyes ; the occiput not mar- 

 gined. Eyes large, parallel, not touching the base of the 

 mandibles. The clypeus separated from the face by a 

 suture ; its apex bluntly rounded. Mandibles with two 

 large, nearly equal teeth. Palpi slender. Mesonotum 

 with distinct parapsidal furrows. Scutellum large, its apex 

 distinctly narrowed. Median segment with a rather 

 elongated slope ; areolated ; the basal areai not complete, 

 being open at the base ; the spiracles small, roundish. 

 Petiole slender, not much thickened towards the apex ; 

 the spiracles are placed in the middle where the segment 

 is tuberculate. 



I have unfortunately only a $ ; but its characteristics 

 appear to be sufficiently distinct from Phygadneuoii by 

 e.g., the smaller head with its occiput not margined, by 

 the more distinct parapsidal furrows, by the more slender
