ance ; clvpeus pubescent, flattish, somewhat longer than broad, 

 pentagonal; median segment very steeply sloped, with a medial 

 sulcation very wide at the top, bounded by a carina on each 

 side, starting from the lateral angles of the post- 

 scutellum aud converging towards the apex, the 

 sulcation with a medial deeply impressed line, 

 the sides beyond the carinse on each side ob- 

 scurely rugose ; petiole of abdomen as in /. 

 speciosa ; 2ud abdominal segment campanulate, 

 the 3rd and following segments telesfopically 

 closing into it ; from beneath the posterior mar- 

 gin of the 2ud segment a fringe of strong spines 

 about 2 mm. in length projects over the base of 

 the 3rd segment. Velvety black, the clypeus 

 brownish with a whitish pile, the petiole of the 

 abdomen red, black at base ; the entire insect covered with a fine 

 silky pile, looking golden in certain lights ; the spines fringing the 

 2nd abdominal segment yellow^ ; wings hyaline, the costal margin 

 of the fore wing fuscous, and with a large fuscous snbapical cloud 

 from the radial cell to a little below the cubital cells. 



The type specimen of White's insect has the 2nd cubital celi very 

 slightly pel iolate towards the radial cell, receiving the 1st recurrent 

 nervure about the middle, the 3rd cubital cell receiving the 2nd 

 recurrent nervure near its base ; but I am convinced this is only 

 an individual variation : the specimens I procured in Tenasserini 

 have the 2nd cubital cell as in /. speciosa, receiving both recurrent 

 nervures.
