366 Mr. Bridguian's additions to T. A. Marshall s 



segment. Forster knew but one specimen. The apex of 

 the abdomen in one of the two is brownish. 



Sagaritis fasciata, n. s. 



Segmentis niediis rufo-fasciatis, segmento tertio transverso, 

 aculeo segmento primo longiore. 



5 . Sides of head behind the eyes very slightly oblique ; 

 antennae of female not more than half the length of the body ; 

 supero -medial area of rnetathorax about as long as wide, closed 

 behind ; lateral areas subdivided. Post-petiole rather wider than 

 long, about twice the width of the petiole, sides scarcely swollen, 

 2nd segment rather longer than wide, 3rd transverse, aculeus 

 almost as long as one-third of the abdomen. Areolet of wings 

 petiolated ; recurrent nervure received just before the middle ; 

 transverse anal nervure not divided. 



Black ; palpi and mandibles fulvous-yellow ; 1st segment of 

 abdomen with a very narrow red margin, 2nd and 3rd with a 

 broad apical red band, 4th obscurely red at the sides of the apical 

 margin. Legs red, coxae black ; middle and hind trochanters 

 black-marked at the base, yellowish at the apex ; extreme base of 

 femora yellowish ; hind tibiae white, apex and before the base 

 dark; middle tibia- slightly fuscous at the apex; base of 1st joint 

 of hind tarsi pale, remainder fuscous, articulations slightly paler ; 

 middle tarsi the same, but the brown much paler ; stigma piceous- 

 yellow, tegulae yellow. 



$ . Differs only from the female in having the antennae longer, 

 supero-medial area of rnetathorax a little narrower and imperfectly 

 closed behind, the 2nd and 3rd segments of the abdomen longer, 

 the latter rather longer than wide, and the transverse anal nervure 

 of hind wings obsoletely divided below the middle ; the abdomen 

 is more highly coloured, the apex of the 3rd segment has a dark 

 mark in the middle, and the sides of the remainder are broadly 

 red ; the black at the apex of the hind tibiae is more inclined to 

 red. Male and female. Length, 6 - 5 — 7 mm. 



I took two females and one male together at Horning 

 Ferry, in June, 1882. They appear to me to be a 

 distinct species ; in some respects they agree with 

 S. maculipes, Tschek., but differ in the length of the 

 3rd segment and the aculeus, which is longer than 

 usual in this genus, and the colour of the abdomen ; in 

 length of aculeus it comes nearer to 5. Holmgreni, 

 Tschek., but the legs are differently coloured and the 

 head wider.
