Odontophotopsis clandestinus n. sp. 



Mesosteruum with the processes of a quadrate character flattened, 

 with the anterior margin pointing inward and forward, the poste- 

 rior margin backward and outward. The lower margin slightly 

 emarginate. 



Length, c?, 9 mm. Head covered with closely arranged deep 

 punctures, closer between anterior ocellus and the insertion of an- 

 tennse than elsewhere. Posterior ocelli about twice as far apart as 

 they are distant from the anierior one, the distance between the 

 posterior ocelli about equal to the distance between them and the 

 nearest eye-margin. Lower margins of eyes almost contiguous 

 with the base of mandibles. The mandibles not so strong, more 

 gently curved, having a superior and inferior margin, the lower 

 margin strongly notched. First joint of flagellum about three- 

 fourths the length of the second, Prothorax with contiguous 

 punctures almost rugose, the punctures more distinct dorsally than 

 on the sides. Dorsulum with almost contiguous coarse punctures, 

 the middle pair of furrows deeper than the lateral pair, the latter a 

 shining line. Scutellum and postscutellum opaque, roughened, not 

 distinctly sculptured. Propleurse closely punctured. Mesopleurse 

 depressed about one-half from front to back, the depressed part 

 almost impunctate below, closely punctured above, the bulged part 

 of mesopleurse covered with closely arranged shallow punctures, 

 the face directed backward and outward, shining, almost impunc- 

 tate. Metathorax with a somewhat oblong enclosure extending to 

 base of disk. This area is about one and a half times as long as 

 wide, a little broader at apex than at base, also not square at apex. 

 The shining surface is bisected by a longitudinal raised line, on 

 each side of this area is a triangular area with one side on the base 

 of the meiathorax. The rest of the disk is covered with moder- 

 ately large, almost hexagonal or round, shallow pits. The sides of 

 the metathorax have one -half deeply depressed, almost a broad 

 channel, which is in greater part shining and without sculpture, 

 the rest of the side is closely reticulated. Wings somewhat yellow- 

 ish hyaline, stigma brown, nervures paler, a pale-brown stain on 

 the lower half of the wings. A short stump of a vein extends 

 beyond the insertion of the second transverse cubitus on the cubital 

 nervure. Third submarginal cell outlined by faint nervures, which 

 are not continuous; a very faint line extending half-way up to the
