Liinineriiini vigili!<« n. sp. 



In color this is very like L. eurycreonoils, of which it may prove

Head. — Antennae thirty-seven jointed. 



Thorax. — Dorsulum dull like the face, the metathorax rather shining ; areola 

 distinctly separated from the petiolarea, nearly twice as long as wide, the lower 

 half forming a square, the upper half nearly triangular, the apex of the triangle 

 being narrowly truncated, i. e. the basal transverse carina is about one-third the 

 length of the apical transverse carina, basal area transversely wrinkled, parallel 

 sided and twice as long as wide or nearly, the areola and basal area together 

 shorter than half the length of the metathorax from postscutellum to apex, peti- 

 olarea rather strongly and somewhat transversely wrinkled, external area imper- 

 fectly separated from the external median area by a faint incomplete line, the 

 two latter areas nearly smooth, delicately wrinkled, the internal area obliquely 

 wrinkled, the wrinkles about as coarse as in the petiolarea, but more separated, 

 angular area almost reduced and lunate, spiracular area and middle pleural area 

 dull granular, the metapleura almost punctate, rather tessellate, partly shining, 

 partly dull ; petiole of the areolet a little shorter than the shortest side of the

 of rufous at apex, antei'ior and middle trochanters yellow, posterior trochanters

 femora ferruginous, the posterior pair darkest, tibige much like the femora, only 

 the posterior tibiae are brownish beneath, with an indistinct band of brown near 

 the base, tarsi brownish, especially those of the posterior legs, those of the middle
