3. MyenimMIA coGNATA. M. atra; metathorace rugoso; alis nigro- 
_ fuscis cupreo violaceoque micantibus. 
Female. Length 10 lines. Black; the head and thorax covered with 
black pubescence; the anterior margin of the clypeus entire; the 
anterior tibiz and tarsi with a few very short slender spines; the 
metathorax convex, pubescent, and rugose, the wings very dark brown, 
with their apical margins of a deeper tint. Abdomen longitudinally 
aciculate. 
Hab. Ternate. 
This species is very like M. anthracina, but I think it is a distinct 
species ; it has not the deep transverse ridges on the metathorax which 
characterise that insect, and it also differs in having the abdomen very 
obviously aciculate, or irregularly finely striated longitudinally.
