 distinctlv shorter than the recurrent nervure, whereas in the last 



species it is distinctly rounded 

 and as long as the recurrent 

 nervin-e ; the present is, too, 

 three niillinietres shorter than 

 the last species. Cameron refers 

 to the thorax thus : — " Base of 

 metanotum shagreened ; the base 

 of the apical part has one or 

 two longitudinal keels ; the rest 

 with irregular, curved keels 

 pointing towards the apex ; the 

 rest is closely covered with 

 roundly curved backwards stritc,

 to the pleurtc. Propleurao ratlun-

Var. glabratiis, nov. 



There is a form of this species with the corneous alar marks 

 entirely wanting, and the i'ace more closely sculptured and with 

 longer pubescence than in the type form, and the costa more 

 conspicuously blackish. 1 cannot, however, bring myself to 

 regard it as of specific rank in so unstable a genus as the present. 

 That it belongs here is, I think, sulliciently shown by the 

 conspicuously glabrous alar area. 1 have seen two specimens.
