155. Myzine laeta, n. sp. 



d . Head — the clypeus with long soft hairs, the front above the 

 antennae closely puuctured, the punctures on the vertex and about 

 the ocelli fewer and more widely spaced ; the pronotum punctured 

 in the middle, longitudinally striate at the sides ; mesonotum, 

 scutellum, postscutellum, median segment, and abdomen sparsely 

 puuctured, the basal three segments of the last almost smooth 

 and shining above, the basal segment itself peliolate, swollen 

 towards the apex, which is strongly constricted. Black, the 

 pubescence on the clypeus white ; the mandibles, flagellum of 

 the antennae beneath, the cox*, trochanters, femora, tibiae, and tarsi 

 obscurely reddish ; wings hyaline and iridescent, uervures and 

 tegulae testaceous.

d" . Closely resembles M. lada, but the head is more closely, 

 evenly, and coarsely punctured, the pronotum is punctured not 

 striate at the sides, the punctin-es on the mesonotum and median 

 segment are finer and closer, on the latter running into obscure 

 transverse striae ; the antennae and legs are distinctly black, not 

 dull reddish, and the wings are more or less fuscescent on the disc 

 and towards the apex.

(5" . Head above the antennae rather closely and coarsely, and 

 the vertex, pronotum, mesonotum, scutellum, and postscutellum 

 more tinely punctured ; median segment rounded posterioi'ly, 

 finely rugulose, with an abbreviated central longitudinal groove 

 near the base ; abdomen petiolate, the apical half of the basal 

 segment globose, the base of the 2nd segment strongly, the 

 bases of the rest lightly constricted ; the whole abdomen, but espe- 

 cially the basal segment above, smooth and shining. Black; the 

 base of the mandibles, the clypeus, the apex of a semicircular pro- 

 jection above the base of the antenna-, the posterior margin of 

 the pronotum, the anterior tibife and tarsi, the base and apex of 

 the intermediate and posterior tibia? and tarsi, and bi-emarginate 

 narrow transverse bands on segments 2-(i of the abdomen 

 posteriorly, yellow ; wings hyaline and iridescent, nervures and
