16 Psyche [February 



clypeal fovese deeply impressed, nearly as far from one another as 

 from the eye; face slightly tuberculate above each fovea and 

 clypeus strongly elevated centrally; malar space one-fourth the 

 eye-height, with a distinct furrow; mandibles large, inner tooth 

 well developed; palpi short, third joint of the maxillary ones 

 scarcely two-thirds as long as the first flagellar joint; ocelK 

 well separated, the lateral ones separated by their own length 

 from one another and from the eye margin. Antennae with about 

 55 joints, considerably longer than the body; second joint of 

 flagellum practically as long as the first, the following growing 

 very slightly shorter. Mesonotum and scutellum smooth; 

 median lobe highly convex; furrows crenulate, basal scutellar 

 impression cross-striate. Propodeum granulate, finely reticulate 

 apically; the subspiracular carina complete, but the transverse 

 one entirely wanting; spiracle small, oval; upper surface oblique, 

 not convex in profile, the abdomen inserted well above the hind 

 coxae. Pleurae sparsely, minutely punctate, the propleura 

 smooth, except at center. Abdomen slightly longer than the 

 head and thorax together, compressed apically; first segment 

 as long as the scutellum and propodeum; four times as long as 

 broad at apex which is twice as wide as the base, spiracles at the 

 basal fourth; entire abdomen smooth, conspicuously yellowish 

 pilose apically. Legs rather long and slender, the hind coxae 

 about three times as long as broad. Hind tibiae and tarsi very 

 slender, but the longer apical spur fully half the length of the 

 metatarsus; the tibia distinctly flattened, except on the basal 

 third. Radial cell not attaining the wing tip; first section of 

 radius more than half as long as the second which is less than 

 half as long as the third ; first discoidal cell not petiolate ; nervulus 

 perpendicular, distinctly postf ureal; recurrent nervure entering 

 half its length before the tip of the first cubital cell; second 

 cubital cell narrowed apically, the second transverse cubitus half 

 as long as the first and three fourths as long as the second section 

 of the radius; nervulus arising at the lower fourth of the dis- 

 coidal cell; last section of cubitus imperfectly chitinized. Radial 

 cell of hind wing enlarged basally and constricted, but not 

 divided medially.
