One specimen from Independencia, Parahyba, Brazil (Mann 
and Heath). 
The conspicuously blackened legs of this species render it 
very conspicuous and easily recognizable. 
Rhogas bakeri sp. nov. 
Female. Length 6 mm. Very pale luteous, with the stemmati- 
cum black, and the hind femora, tip of their tibia and tips of all tarsi 
slightly infuscated. Wings pale yellow, with a basal cross-band of 
fuscous which is more or less separated into two spots, one on the basal 
vein and the other below the apical part of the submedian cell. Veins 
and stigma pale luteous, fuscous along the clouded parts of the wing. 
Head twice as broad as thick antero-posteriorly, the narrowest part of 
the front one-third as broad as the head, face faintly rugulose, with a 
short carina below the antenne. Antenne (broken at tips) probably 
_about 40-jointed, the joints quadrate. Eyes large, emarginate opposite 
the antennez, but not very deeply so; malar space as long as the basal 
joint of the antennal flagellum. Ocelli large, the posterior ones as far 
from the eye-margin as from one another. Head punctulate behind the 
eyes. Mesonotum dull, with the parapsidal furrows present, but very 
weakly impressed. Scutellum with the basal impression coarsely striated, 
not divided by a median carina. Metanotum rugulose, with a median and 
lateral carinz, weakly elevated. Pleurz impunctate, the mesopleura 
larger and extending farther downward than usual. Abdomen with the 
median carina extending to the middle of the third segment; first and 
second segments very faintly longitudinally aciculated; first segment 
one-third longer than broad at tip, its base two-thirds as wide as the tip; 
second segment slightly longer than broad; third transverse, following 
much shorter, ovipositor nearly one-third as long as the second abdominal 
segment. Legs stout, the femora thickened, especially those of the hind 
pair. Wings with the stigma rather broad, its width nearly equal to the 
length of the first section of the radius which is fully as long as the second; 
recurrent nervure received more than half its own length before the tip 
of the first cubital cell; second cubital cell almost as high at apex as at 
base, the second transverse cubitus hyaline except at the corners of the 
cell; transverse median vein entering the first discoidal at its middle. 
One female from Rio Madeira (Camp No. 39, Madeira- 
Mamoré R. R.) Brazil, Mann and Baker. 
This is a rather anomalous species, showing somewhat of a 
transition to Heterogamus in the length of the first section of 
the radial vein. It is quite similar to the West Indian, XR. 
bifasciatus Ashm., but the abdominal carina extends beyond 
the first segment.
