the other segments and not differing from them. Antennae 

 stout, as long as the abdomen ; the scape bearing mode- 

 rately long, black hair ; the flagellum a microscopic down ; 

 the third joint is a little shorter than the fourth. Wings 

 hyaline at the base, the rest fuscous or fuscous-black, some- 

 times with a violacious tinge ; the stigma and nervures deep 

 black ; the first submedian nervure interstitial ; the first 

 transverse cubital nervure received in the basal third of the 

 cellule ; the part of the cubital nervure bounded by it and 

 the first transverse cubital being curved ; the second recur- 

 rent is received somewhat behind the basal fourth ; the 

 portion of the cellule bounded by the recurrent nervures is 

 about one-fourth longer than the top of the cellule. The 

 third cubital cellule at the top is scarcely so long as the 

 part bounded by the recurrent nervures ; the third trans- 

 verse cubital nervure is more or less curved at the bottom. 

 Submedian cellule in posterior wings appendiculated, i.e., 

 not reaching to the end of the externo-median nervures, 

 and before the origin of the cubital nervure = Gojytes sensii 

 str. Tibiae and tarsi densely covered with a greyish pube- 

 scence ; the femora sparsely with soft black hairs. 



Gorytes carbonariiis^ Smith (Cat. Hymen. Ins. IV. p. 366), 

 also from New Zealand, can hardly be the species I have 

 described, for the pubescence is said to be "thin," the meta- 

 thorax "smooth," &c.
