Liburnia staminata n. sp. 



Fig. 706 



This species may be recognized by its pale color with the frons 

 strongly constricted between eyes, the genital styles slender ; the 

 apices suddenly expanded. 



Head broad ; vertex narrow, strongly produced ; lateral margins 

 converging anteriorly and the carinse strong over the apex of the head ; 

 frons broad strongly narrowed between the eyes broadest at about the 

 level of the antennae, converging toward the clypeus ; antennse reach- 

 ing the clypeal margin, first segment nearly as long as second; pro- 

 notum longer than vertex, distinctly notched posteriorly ; mesonotum 

 transverse, the scutellar portion large; calcar very long, longer than 

 the basal segment of the tarsus; pygofer of male long, genital aper- 

 ture large, ventral sinus shallow; genital styles slender, contiguous 

 at the base, diverging from each other at an angle of about eighty-five 

 degrees; the apices suddenly expanded stamen-like; the dorsal margin 

 of diaphragm produced into a short nearly quadrate median tooth; 

 anal segment short; anal processes broadly triangular reaching the 

 dorsal margin of the diaphragm. 



Color : General color dull ochraceous yellow ; eyes black, tips of 

 tarsi black; wings ochraceous yellow, the veins brighter; anal seg- 

 ment fuscous brown.
