TO NEW GUINKA IN 1904 AND 1005. PART II. 29 



This species agrees fairly well with Kirby's definition of 

 Antroceplmlus., but not quite so well with that of Kieffer 

 (Beri. Ent. Zeit. XLIX, 24). 



Evaniidae. 



Evaìiia ìiieraukensis sp. no v. 



Black, densely covered with silvery jjubescence, which is 

 very dense on the sternum and apex of metanotura. Base of 

 thorax transverse, its sides angled, not rounded. Hind tibiae 

 spinose, the spines distinct, longish ; the longer does not reach 

 to the middle of the metatarsus. Metasternal process short, 

 thick, slightly diverging ; there is a stout longitudinal keel 

 behind it. Abdominal petiole stoutly, closely, irregularly stri- 

 ated, the striœ more or less twisted. Wings hyaline, the ner- 

 vures black. 5. 



Length 7 m.m. 



Merauke. 



Flagellum of antennae opaque below, covered with dark 

 velvety pile ; it is as long as the S"""^ joint, which is distinctly 

 longer than the 4^'' , and that is a little longer than the 5"^ . 

 Eyes distinctly converging above ; the hinder ocelli are sepa- 

 rated from each other by about double the distance they are 

 from the eyes. Front and vertex rugosely punctured, the front 

 more strongly than the vertex. Face rugosely punctured, more 

 or less striated below. Clypeus sparsely punctured above, 

 almost smooth below, where it becomes gradually roundly 

 narrowed to a point. Mandibles shining, finely, closely pun- 

 ctured. Occiput with a sharp narrow margin. Mesonotum 

 strongly, but not closely punctured ; the furrows are narrow, 

 but distinct ; the scutellum is somewhat similarly punctured, 

 but less closely in the middle at the base. Metanotum closely 

 reticulated, the keels stout, the apical slope is roundly, but 

 not deeply hollowed, it is reticulated above and at the sides,
