416 Mr. Bridgman's additions to T. A. MarshalVs 



Eev. T. A. Marshall on one occasion took both sexes in 

 great numbers. The male differs only from the female 

 in the colour of the legs ; the hind coxse are more or less 

 dark, generally dark, apex pale, trochanters pale, hind 

 femora, tibiae, and tarsi darkish brown, extreme base of 

 femora pale ; the middle segments of the abdomen have 

 sometimes dark blotches on the sides. The male is very 

 like the male of H. fmgilis, Gr. (this Thomson says is 

 also Leptocryptus, Th.), but differs in having the hind 

 tibiae uniformly coloured ; the face is almost smooth, 

 with scarcely any pubescence, and converges towards 

 the mouth, the parapsides only extending to just beyond 

 the middle of the mesonotum. In Leptocryptus fragilis 

 the middle of the hind tibiae is red, face densely pube- 

 scent and not converging, the parapsides more deeply 

 impressed and extending almost to the foveae in front of 

 the scutellum. 



Hemiteles nitidiis, n. s. 



Niger ; abdominis medio pedibusque rufis, aculeo abdominis 

 dimidio longiore. 



Shining, smooth ; mesothorax very finely punctate ; 1st segment 

 of abdomen very finely aciculate. Head transverse, slightly 

 narrow behind the eyes, viewed in front triangi;lar; apes of 

 clypeus somewhat trmicate ; face finely punctate ; a deep fovea 

 above the antenna, these about three-fourths the length of the 

 body, almost filiform, slightly thickened before the apex; the first 

 three joints of the flagellum about the same length, nearly three 

 times as long as wide ; parapsides of mesonotum distinct ; meta- 

 thorax with distinct areee ; supero-medial subtriangular, quite as 

 long as wide or a little longer ; basal area transverse, triangular, 

 apex terminating laterally in a short obtuse spine. Abdomen 

 elongate-ovate ; apex of the 2nd segment the widest ; apex some- 

 what compressed ; 1st segment twice as long as the width of 

 the apex, this three times as wide as the base ; 2nd segment 

 rather wider than long, and a little wider than tJie thorax ; 

 aculeus slightly more than half the length of the abdomen, slightly 

 curved downwards. Legs moderate. Areolet of wings pentagonal, 

 with outer nervure absent; posterior-inferior angle of discoidal 

 cell acute ; transverse anal nervure ante-furcal, divided one-third 

 fi-om the bottom.
