PSYCHE. 



[November 



men cylindrical, the segments 

 with large white spots; $ with 

 the apical margin of the sixth 

 segment toothed; $ with the 

 seventh segment armed with a 

 tooth. Slelidomorpha Morawitz. 

 Scutellum with lateral teeth behind. 



Head narrower than the thorax ; 

 cljpeus rounded not lengthened; 

 maxillary palpi 2 jointed ; abdo- 

 men rounded, black, raiely with 

 small indistinct maculae; $ with 

 the seventh segment rounded. 



Stelis Panzer. 

 Abdomen black, or rufous and black, clothed 

 with a scattered griseous pubescence ; 

 mandibles tridentate. 



Scutellum rounded and produced 

 behind over the base of the abdo- 

 men, the apex with a deep median 

 depression ; apical abdominal seg- 

 ment in $ tridentate. 



Parevaspis Ritsema. 



Subfamily II, Coehoxinae. 

 Neopasites, n. g. 



Differs principally from Phileremulus 

 Ckll., and Neolarra Ashm., by having a long 

 marginal cell, which is much longer than the 

 stigma, rounded at apex with a slight appen- 

 dage. The front wings have two complete 

 submarginal cells, the first being the longer. 

 It also differs from Pasites Jurine, Homa- 

 chthes Gerstaecker, and Schmiedeknechtia 

 Friese, in that the first recurrent nervure 

 joins the first submarginal cell. Type Phil- 

 eyemiis fulviventris Cress. 



Hoplopasites, n. g. 



This new genus falls in a group of genera 

 near Melitto.xena Morawitz and Caenoproso- 

 pis Holmberg: The axillae are acute or 

 toothed at apex, the scutellum proper 

 (middle lobe) also armed with a median 

 tooth at apex, so that apically, with the 



acute axillae, the scutellum appears tri- 

 dentate. The abdomen is red and black, the 

 segments being banded with an appressed 

 whitish pubescence. Type Phileremus? fro- 

 ductus Cress. 



Family P.\nurgid.\e. 



Hylaeosoma n. g. 



Comes nearest to the genera Dasypoda 

 Latr. and Calliopsis Smith, in having the 

 first submarginal cell distinctly longer than 

 the second, but differs from both, in having 

 the median cell much longer than the sub- 

 median. 



The front wings have two recurrent ner- 

 vures, the first received by the first submar- 

 ginal cell, the second received by the second 

 submarginal cell near its apex, the latter cell 

 being almost quadrate, a little wider (or 

 higher) than long. 



The head, seen from in front is oblong, 

 nearly twice as long as wide, the eyes being 

 very long, three times as long as wide. An- 

 tennae clavate, the flagellum being gradually 

 thickened towards apex. Maxillary palpi 

 6-jointed; labial palpi 4-jointed, the first 

 joint the longest. Mandibles tridentate at 

 apex. 



Type H. longicefs Ashm. MS. from St. 

 Vincent. 



Cockerellia n. g. 



To this genus belong most of the species 

 described recently by Prof. Cockerell undei 

 the genus Perdita. 



It differs decidedly from Perdita, as de- 

 fined and figured by Smith, in having much 

 longer 4-jointed labial palpi, the first joint 

 being verv long and usually' somewhat 

 thickened, /«//)' twice as long or even more 

 than tvjice as long as joints 2-4 united; su- 

 praclypeal plate quadrate, separated; clypeus 

 at base trapezoidal : hind trochanters appar- 

 entlv without flocculus; color aeneous, bluish, 

 or black, usually with pale markings, the 

 abdomen always banded or maculated ; claws 

 cleft. Type Perdita} hyalina Cresson.
