Black ; legs, with the coxae, rufo-testaceous ; hmd tibiae at the 

 apex, and each joint of the tarsi, except at the base, black. Abdo- 

 men either rufo-testaceous, with the disk of each segment more or 

 less black ; or black, with the base of the belly broadly testaceous. 

 Wings hyaline, squamulae, costa, and nerviu'es yellowish; stigma 

 almost hyaline, with a yellow border. Mesothorax smooth, pube- 

 scent, iridescent; scutellum and metathorax smooth, shining. 

 Segment 1 half as long again as its medial breadth, slightly 

 narrowed towards the apex, truncated, slightly rugulose like 2, 

 which is shorter than 3, broader than 1 ; the rest smooth and 

 shining. Terebra \ of the abdomen, somewhat deciu'ved, the 

 valves incrassated. Valvula ventralis not siu'passing the anus, 

 acuminated. ? . Length, \ — 1 ; wings, 1| — 2§ lin. 



Described from six females. Antenuae almost as long 

 as the body. Mandibles partly rufous. The variable 

 abdomen is entirely black above in one specimen ; in the 

 others the 1st segment is narrowly bordered with testa- 

 ceous, the following segments are testaceous with a 

 black discal patch. Two of these specimens were 

 returned by Eeinhard as punctiger, Wesm. They are, 

 however, much smaller, the 1st segment is not punctate, 

 and differs in shape, the wings are more hyaline, the 

 stigma yellow, and the hind coxse testaceous. They are 

 more like piinctiger, Eeinh., only too small. The 

 difference between punctiger, Wesm., and punctiger, 

 Eeinh., is such that they are probably not identical. 



Four specimens were bred by Fitch, July 24th, and 

 seven by Elisha, July 17th, from Gracilaria semifascia, 

 Haw. ; two also by Elisha, July 31st, from Eupoecilia 

 ciliella, Hiib.
