Prosopis leptospermi n. sp. 



Female. Running in my M.S. key to Gnathoprosoj)is hackeri, but entirely 

 different in colour of tubercles and legs, and other characters. It could also be run 

 near amicnla, but is quite different. Length about 7-5 mm., robust, black, with dull 

 pale-yellow markings, consisting of cuneiform lateral face-marks (ending obtusely 

 above, away from orbital margin), interrupted band on prothorax above (not 

 approaching tubercles), and tubercles ; legs black, the anterior tibiae with an elongate 

 red patch in front ; mandibles sulcate, not of the broad Gnathoprosoj^is type ; clypeus 

 entirely dull, with a fine median raised line ; scape long black ; flagellum unusually 

 short, very obscure reddish beneath ; front dull ; cheeks beneath with long white 

 hair ; mesothorax and scutellum dull, extremely finely punctured ; postscutellum 

 large ; basal area of metathorax short ; tegulse black ; wings dusky, with black 

 stigtna and nervures ; second submarginal cell very broad, receiving recurrent 

 nervures some distance from base and apex ; more of marginal nervure is on second 

 submarginal cell than on first ; legs ordinary, spurs pale ferruginous ; abdomen 

 dull without evident punctures, first two segments laterally with very thin white 

 hair ; fifth ventral segment with a fringe of short hair, appearing pale reddish in 

 some lights.

 base and apex ; flagellum dull pale red beneath ; front dull ; mesothorax and 

 scutellum somewhat shining, very minutely punctured ; metathorax rounded, not 

 sharply truncate, with only a very narrow basal rugose band ; tegulae partly pallid ; 

 wings hyaline, very faintly dusky, stigma dark brown ; second submarginal cell 

 broad, receiving recurrent nervures near base and apex ; legs black, anterior tibia? 

 pale red in front ; hind femora very stout, covered beneath with dense white felt- 

 like hair ; hind tibiae swollen ; abdomen shining, with excessively minute punctures ; 

 venter simple.
