llEMiriMl'K.V. IS9 



Ti/pe. Location unknown. 



This, with the exception of the next one, is the only species of 

 its group with entirely pale body and thoracic pilosity ; the 

 abdomen is duller and more closely punctate, with its incisions 

 less deeply impressed and the infuinescence of the wings more 

 sharply defined than in 0. rtigosa and C, ariana, of which it 

 would at first sight appear to be little more than a xanthic 

 variety. The S diti'ers somewhat materially in having the radial 

 nervure distinctly more curved above the less petiolate areolet ; 

 this sex has not before been described. 



I was not acquainted with Cameron's description A\hen dz-awing 

 up my account of this insect, but there can be no doubt that he 

 refers to the present species, upon which he remarks that the 

 temples are distinctly developed, roundly narrowed ; the central 

 part of the basal segment is broad, transverse and not roundly 

 narrowed as in his other species of this genus.
