NEW SPECIES OE CUKCULIONIDAE. 179 



Subfamily Zygopinae. 

 Osphilia odinae, sp. nov. (fig. 13). 



cJ ?. — Colour piceous brown, rather thinly clothed above with pale hair-like scales, 

 asymmetrically variegated with subdenuded patches ; the lower surface densely 

 covered with white scales, mostly linear, but some ovate ; the base of the rostrum 

 and a broad stripe below each eye with dense, narrow, whitish scales. The pronotum 

 with pale yellowish scales, all of which are linear except a single row along the 

 extreme base, which are rather shorter and broader ; a broad median denuded 

 stripe, and on each side of it a shorter oblong one narrowly uniting with it not far 

 from the apex, thus forming (very roughly) an inverted trident, externally to which 

 is a very indefinite lateral longitudinal sub-denuded patch ; these darker areas 

 thinly clothed with dark recumbent setae. The elytra with the following similar 

 ill-defined and rather variable darker patches : a rounded one on the shoulder, a 

 transveise band before the middle extending from stria 2 nearly to the lateral margin, 

 a broad and very irregular macular transverse band behind the middle, and a rounded 

 juxta-apical spot. 



Fig. 13. Osphilia odinae, sp. n. 



Rostrum as long as the head and prothorax together, entirely red-brown, 

 gradually narrowed from the base to near the apex and thence slightly dilated, the 

 extreme base triangular in section with the apex uppermost ; the basal portion 

 coarsely punctate (less so in 9), but the median line smooth throughout, the punctures 

 on the apical portion very fine and separated in $, and longitudinally confluent in 

 S ; the antennal insertion behind the middle in ?, at or beyond it in (J. Antennae 

 of O testaceous with only the club blackish, in the ^ the whole funicle also blackish 

 except joint 1 and the basal half of 2 ; the funicle with joint 2 as long as or a little 

 longer than 1, the remainder slightly and progressively shortening outwards in the ?, 

 all longer than broad, except 7, which is as broad as long ; in the ($ joint 2 is strongly 

 clavate, the dilatation being greater on the inner side, which is densely clothed with 

 setae, the remaining joints bead-like and more nearly equal in length than in the $ ; 

 the first joint of the club longer than broad in both sexes. Prothorax transverse, 

 the sides gently rounded, broadest before the middle, the base deeply bisinuate ;
