face, cheeks, and jileura black : although the wings are quite dark, the stigma is 
dull amber ; clypeus has very close, large punctures, and a well-detined longi- 
tudinal ridge ; hair of metathorax black, atul its enclosure is larger than in 
viiTua, its apical angle noticeably larger ; it is minutely roughened, with delicate 
raised wrinkles basally ; process of labrum similar to that of vinua, but with the 
truncation not so broad ; hair of occiput tlark, but there is a tuft of light fulvous 
hair directed forwards over the ocelli : discs of abdominal segments beyond the 
first with rather abundant short erect black hair. Perhaps A. phirialis, Ckll., 
should not be separated specifically from this. The British Museum series con- 
sists of six specimens, not all of one species, but the above remarks are based on 
the one bearing the type label. 
Andraia obscuripennis. Smith 
9 very fine species with e.xtremely dark wings, which expand 30mm- 
.\bdornen with strong punctures ; stigma small ; tibial scopa dense; area of 
metathorax pointed behind, not truncate, raised margin slight ; anterior middle 
of clypeus tlark red. 
.Indrena clypeata. Smith 
Differs from A. bipunctata by being a little smaller (expanse of wings i ’inm. ) 
abdomen dark brown. Flagellum dark as in bivpinutata ; third antennal joint 
longer than q, but not nearly as long as 4 — 5 ; clypeus yellow with two black 
spots. Runs to bipunctata in Robertson’s tables, except that the abilomen is not 
strictly black. It seems conspecific with bipunctata, or jjerhaps a Floridian race. 
Ant/rena victima, .Smith. 
9 I'he type is stylopized. Fimbria dark brown, a sort of purplish sooty ; 
abdomen not fasciate, sericeous, with only small piliferous punctures ; hair of 
scutellum quite bright orange-fulvous, all the thoracic hair being of this color, 
though not everywhere so bright ; tibial sco]ia pale orange-fulvous. 
The male (type of A. desponsa) is also stylopized. In Robertson’s tables it 
seems to run closest to sayi. The area of metathorax has some little straight 
basal ridges, as though puckered. Second submarginal cell large, with recurrent 
nervure joining it at the middle. Cheeks ordinary. 
.Indrcna hut taps, .Smith 
$ type. Cheeks very broad, angled behind, the angle somewhat above 
level of middle of eye ; mandibles sim])le at base ; hair of clypeus long, white ; of 
sides of face black; third antennal joint about as long as 44-5 ; nervures and
