STICTOLISSOXOT.V. 217 



Metatliorax large and apically rounded, closely and unifornilv 

 punctate, with no area;; spiracles small and oval; nietapleural 

 carinie distinct. Abdomen short and not much lonp^er than the 

 thorax ; three basal segments strongly and closely punctate : the 

 first sessile and broad, k)nger than the second and roundly dilated 

 basally ; anus truncate and laterally compressed, with no distinct 

 hypopygium. Legs elongate, with the apices of the joints spinose ; 

 front tibije with but a single calcar, long, slender and more than 

 half the length of the metatarsus ; claws closely pectinate. 

 Areolet sessile, emitting the recurrent nervure beyond its centre ; 

 the transverse median nervure received shortly beyond the trans- 

 verse basal ; hind wings with the first recurrent nervure inter- 

 cepted near the bottom.

The single calcar, pectinate claws, the conformation of the 

 clypeus, etc., indicate a relationship between this genus and my 

 Apophva, from which the entire areolet and the abdominal con- 

 formation will easily distinguish it. Its author says {1. c.) : — 

 " The type of this genus looks more like a Cryptid than a Pimplid. 

 It should be readily known by the strongly punctured basal 

 abdominal segments, with the first roundly dilated at the base ; 

 the known species of Lissonotini have the abdomen smooth and 

 shining, at the most shagreened. The absence of lateral impressed 

 lines on abdominal segments 2-5 separates it from the Pimplim, 

 with which it agrees in having the segments punctured ; hut it has 

 a much more slender form, with much longer and more slender 

 anteniuT. The long, slender, white-handed antennae add con- 

 siderably to its resemblance to a Cryptid." Though this genus 

 and the preceding appear to fall most naturally into different 

 divisions of the Pijfplix.t:, their similar modifications of structure 

 are very remarkable and show them to be not distantly allied 

 forms.

.9 . A black species, with (lavescent markings. Ifead closely 

 and distinctly punctate ; cheeks, maiulibles (except apically), tiio 

 sparsely punctate clypeus (except laterally), and " the sides of the 

 face broadly, the mark oblit^uely narrowed to a point above the 

 antennae, tlie mark as wide as the black central part," tlavons ; 

 palpi fulvous and basally paler. Antenna- covered with dense, 

 obsolete pul)escence; scape broadly at the apex, and the eighth to 

 Bixteenth flagellar joints, white. Thorax with two large hamate 

 marks on the strongly punctate mesonotum, proplenra' broadly 

 below, callosities beneath all the radices, and "a large m;irk, 

 longer than wide, transverse above and at the sides, roundly 

 dilated in the middle below,'" the position of which is not indicated 

 by the author, llavous : metatliorax closely punctate, its sides and
