TWO NEW SPECIES OF CHR.YSIDID.T; FROM BORNEO. 61 



(type locality). September 3rd, 1907 (S. A. Rohwer) ; Tim 

 Creek, September 7th, 1907 (G. M. Hite). 



Ashmeadiella denticalata (Cresson). 

 The species of Colorado and New Mexico, generally known 

 as Ashmeadiella hucconis (Say), should apparently be called 

 denticulata. The latter has been considered a synonym of 

 hucconis, but the ventral scopa of the female is white, whereas it 

 is yellowish in hucconis. A. denticulata was collected at Boulder, 

 Colorado, August 28th, 1907, by Mr. S. A. Rohwer. 



DESCRIPTIONS OF TWO NEW SPECIES OF CHRYSI- 

 DIDiE FROM BORNEO. 



By p. Cameron. 



Hedychrum horneamim, sp. nov. 

 Green, with brassy tints, the centre of mesonotum blue, ocellar 

 region and the apical segment of abdomen tinged with purple ; 

 antennal scape and pedicle green, the fiagellum black ; wings hyaline, 

 tinged with violaceous, the nervures black ; tarsi rufo-testaceous. $ . 

 Length, 6 mm. 



Kuching, Borneo (John Hewitt). 



Vertex with fine widely, irregularly separated punctures ; the 

 front with much larger punctures, more closely pressed, below, 

 laterally, almost forming reticulations ; the space below the antennae 

 smooth. Mandibles green, brownish at the apex. Outer orbits for 

 the greater part finely, closely, longitudinally striated. Pronotum 

 smooth, impunctate, as is also the mesonotum, except for a row of 

 large deep punctures along the outer edge. Scutellum smooth, with 

 two large round punctures on the outer edge. Basal part of meta- 

 notum covered with large round deep punctures ; the apical slope 

 with an area in the centre above, transverse above, the apex obliquely 

 narrowed to a point below. Propleurae strongly punctured above, 

 smooth below, the smooth part dilated upwards at the base. Meso- 

 pleurae with large clearly separated punctures, the low^est of which 

 form a regular longitudinal row ; below is a row of six larger squarish 

 fovese, in a depression, bordered above and below by a keel. In the 

 centre of the metanotum are two large areae, the basal squarish, the 

 apical smaller and oval. Abdomen smooth and shining, the lower 

 edge white and membranous. As usual, the frontal depression is 

 finely transversely striated. 



Chrysis (Heptachrysis) hewittii, sp. nov. 

 Green ; the head, thorax, and basal segment of abdomen with a 

 brassy tint ; the ocellar region, the basal half of middle lobe of meso- 

 notum, and the base of second abdominal segment narrowly, indigo- 

 blue. Antennal scape and the basal two joints of fiagellum dark
