" Black, wings clear hyaline ; a small fuscous cloud below and 

 touching the stigma. Eyes a little converging, the hinder ocelli 

 separated from each other by a very slightly less distance than 

 they are from the eyes. Clypeus short, convex, the apex broadly 

 rounded. Occiput slightly concave in the middle. The frout 

 strongly aciculate, the vertex shining, almost impunctate. The 

 head except on the vertex densely covered with a silvery pubescence, 

 the vertex with a few fuscous hairs ; the lower and outer orbits 

 with some lotjg silvery ones. Pronotum shorter than the head, 

 roundly narrowed towards the head, shallowly concave behind. 

 Pro- and mesothorax alutaceous ; the median segment with a 

 rounded slope, irregularly transversely striated, deeply furrowed 

 down the centre, the sides covered with long whitish hairs. 

 Abdomen shining pruinose, having an olive tint, the petiole with a 

 distinct neck. Radial cellule wide, angled where the cubital 

 nervures are received ; the 2nd cubital cellule at the top distinctly 

 shorter than the 3rd, especially on the low-er side; the 1st and 

 2nd transverse cubital nervures with a slight oblique curve ; the 

 1st recurrent nervure is received a little beyond the middle; the 

 2nd at a less distance from the base. Legs densely covered with 

 a silvery pile ; the long spur of the hind tibiae not much more than 

 one-third of the length of the metatarsus ; the front spurs pale, the 

 front tarsi fuscous; the tibiae with short spines; the metatarsal 

 brush slight. This species differs from the others in having the 

 basal nervure interstitial, but in other respects it agrees with the 

 generic character.

t This species was described by Mr. Cameron, from specimens m 

 Mr. Wrougbton's collection. In Mr. Rotiiney's collection there are two 

 specimens of a Paeudagenia (whicb do not in any way differ from /'. fincta), 

 labelled P. vcda in Mr. Cameron's writing. As neitlior corresponds to the 

 published description of veda, I conclude the label has been attached to the 

 two specimens by mistake.
