the two basal segiuents more or less discally black. Legs dark red, 

 with the anterior flavidous iu front; hind coxa* broadly above, 

 the apical third of their tibise, and their onychii, black ; hind tarsi 

 spinose, with their basal joint fully four times the length of the 



second and double that of the 

 remainder uiiited. Wings 

 infumate-hyaline; "the re- 

 current nervure is received 

 shortly before the middle of 

 the cellule ; the transverse 

 median shortly before the 

 transverse basal ; " stigma 

 testaceous.

" A smaller and more 

 slender species than H. reti- 

 cidaium ; may be known 

 fi'om it by the petiole aud 

 hinder coxae being black 

 above, by the front aud 

 vertex being distinctly reticulated, by the apex of the petiole not 

 being abruptly narrowed into a point, but narrowed gradually, 

 and by the much shallower mesosternal furrow." (Cameron, I. c.) 

 I have seen a male in the Genoa Museum which agrees so per- 

 fectly with the description of the female as to leave no doubt 

 respecting their relationship. I cannot consider a male taken in 

 Formosa by AVileman in 190S as distinct, though the hind coxae 

 are immaculate red.
