Rhogas insignipes sp. nov. 
Male. Length 8 mm. Uniformly pale ochre-yellow, very con- 
spicuously and sharply marked with black as follows; entire antennz 
and head, except palp1; last joint of fore tarsi; middle legs beyond the 
basal third of the tibia, and hind legs beyond the extreme base of the 
tibia. Wings tinged strongly with yellowish-fuscous; veins pale brown; 
stigma wholly piceous; pale parts of body with pale yellow pubescence; 
black parts with black. Head somewhat over twice as broad as thick 
antero-posteriorly, the front occupying only one-fourth the width of 
the head when seen from above. Face of the same width as the front, 
transversely rugose aciculate, with a short, sharp keel below the anten- 
ne. Eyes very large, deeply emarginate opposite the antenne; malar 
space extremely short, only half as long as one of the middle joints of the 
antennez. Ocelli very large, the lateral ones nearly touching the eye- 
margin, due to the narrowness of the front. Antenne as long as the 
body, about 65-jointed, gradually tapering, the joints about quadrate. 
Head behind the eyes microscopically rugulose. Mesothorax dull, but 
not punctate, the parapsidal furrows sharply defined but not at all 
crenulated. Scutellum with a broad, deep, longitudinally fluted and 
medially divided depression across its base, dull like the mesonotum; 
post-scutellum paler and polished. Metathorax with the median and 
lateral carina complete, though delicate, the former bifurcating behind 
to form a very small petiolar area; surface of metanotum faintly rough- 
ened. Pleurz smooth and polished. Abdomen with the median carina 
distinct on the first two segments, but without any distinct longitudinal 
aciculation; first segment one half longer than wide at tip; base two- 
thirds as wide as tip; second segment slightly transverse; following 
becoming more strongly so. Legs moderately slender. Wings ample; 
stigma lanceolate, emitting the radius at its middle; first section of 
radius two-thirds as long as the second; recurrent nervure received at 
half its own length before the tip of the first cubital cell; transverse 
median nervure entering the first discoidal cell before the middle.
