clypeus broadly apically and more broadly centrally, mandibles 

 except apically, and the palpi, flavous. Antennce : scape flavous 

 beneath. Thorax : propleura? flavous below. Abdomen wilh the 

 closely, distinctly and longitudinally aciculate first segment (which 

 is glabrous at centre and apex) entirely, basal third of the closely 

 and regularly punctate second, and the bases of the similarly 

 sculptured third and apically smooth fourth segments narrowly, 

 red ; apices of the second and tinrd flavous with a rufescent tinge ; 

 apical segments smooth and nitidulous, with the last and apex of 

 penultimate white; terebra longer than half the body (5 mdlira.). 

 Ler/s red, with the anterior coxa? (except intermediate apically), 

 and their trochanters, flavous : hind tibia> and tarsi black. Wings 

 hyaline with the stigma and nervures nigrescent; areolet not 

 petiolate. 



Length 8 millim.

The aciculate basal segment is remarkable. Unknown to me.

Genotype, C. alhomaculata, Cam. 



Head anteriorly transverse; eyes large, internally parallel, 

 margined below and not emarginate ; cheeks distinct; clypeus 

 roundly projecting, deeply separated basally and apically rounded ; 

 mandibles equally bidentate apically. AntennJB not shorter than 

 body. Xotauli obsolete ; metanotum transversely carinate before 

 its apex, with the spiracles at apex of basal third, small and oval. 

 Abdominal segments shagreened and longer than broad ; petiolar 

 spiracles small and subcircular, near apex of basal third ; terebra 

 elongate and not emitted from a ventral fold. Legs distinctly 

 slender, with the tarsal claws pectinate ; hind tarsi spinose, front 

 ones double the length of their tibiae. Areolet small, obliquely 

 triangular, externally incomplete, with its petiole as long as its 

 height, and emitting"^ the recurrent nervure near its apex.

its author compares this genus with Lissonota, though its pec- 

 tinate claws relate it more closely to Meniscus ; therefrom he says 

 it differs, apart from tlie structure of the claws, in the petiolate 

 areolet, more slender and elongate legs, and in the three basal 

 seguients being comparatively longer, which are not very tangible 

 characters.
