striated. Scutellum smooth, the sides irregularly punctured. Meta- 

 notum not very closely nor deeply umbilically punctate. Abdominal 

 pétiole and hinder coxa3 opaque, finely closely striated ; the hinder 

 ventral surface of the abdomen brownish or piceous. 



This is a Fœnatopus as limited by Enderlein (Zool. Anzeiger, 

 XXVIII, 476), the outer submedian cellule being indicated by a 

 nervure in front, open at the apex and behind. 



Fœnatopus piceicornis sp. n. — Black, shilling, a moder- 

 ately broad pallid yellow line on the lower three-fourths of the outer 

 orbits, extending on to the malar space ; tips of mandibles rufo- 

 testaceous, the palpi dark fuscous ; the antennœ piceous, darker 

 towards the apex ; the 4 anterior tibias and tarsi pallid testaceous, 

 the tibias darker behind; the hinder trochanters, apex of tibise and 

 the tarsi rufo-testaceous ; wings clear hyaline, tlie stigma and 

 nervures black ; the cubitus pallid testaceous. Hind femora with 

 3 teeth, the apical 2 of about the same size, the basai smaller and 

 separated fi'om the 2 n '' by a less distance than the latter is from 

 the 3 rd . $. 



Length 13 mill. ; terebra 12 mill.

The cubitus originates from the apex of* the thickened basai part 

 of the radius with which it fonns an acute angle ; there are 2 closed 

 basai cellules ; the radial is closed at the apex, but not the cubital, 

 the cubitus becoming faint before the apex of the wing ; there is a 

 stump of adiscoidal nervure not quite so long as the lower nervure. 

 Vertex from the ocelli strougly, closely transversely striated, the 

 anterior strite stronger and more roundly curved than the hinder ; 

 the front more strongly slriated, the striœ more or less curved. 

 Ocellar space smooth in the centre, the sides finely striated. Frontal 

 tubercles rufous, bluntly triangular. Pronotum as long as it is wide 

 at the apex, smooth, the base bituberculate above. Basai half of 

 mesonotum strongly irregularly reticulated, the sides at the apex 

 umbilically punctate, the middle smooth. Scutellum umbilically 

 punctate, the centre with a large smooth space which becomes 

 gradually widened towards the apex. Metathorax umbilically 

 punctate, but not closely or strongly. The narrowed basai part of 

 the abdomen is as long as the resf of the abdomen and is finely, 

 closely striated. 



This species, like the olhers hère described, is a Fœnatopus as 

 limited by Enderlein (^Zool. Anzeiger, XXVIII, 476).
