and 3rcl red, except the black apex and sides ; margin of apical 

 segments membranaceous. Stigma black; tegulse pale piceous. 

 Female. Length, 5 mm. 



One female was bred by Mr. W. H. B. Fletcher from 

 cocoon found at Cliesil Beach, April 24th, 1884. 



It is very like H. ridihiuidus, Gr., but the head and 

 thorax are smoother and more shining, the coxae are red, 

 and the stigma has not a white base. 



Hemiteles longicauda, Thorn. 



Thom., Opus. Ent., fasc. x., 980. 



I detected a female of this species among a lot sent to 

 me to name by Mr. C. W. Dale. The card on which it 

 was fixed bore no locality. The legs were almost entirely 

 red ; 1st segment of the abdomen and part of the 2nd 

 were red. 



ApteropJiijgus (Fst.) ? ixiradoxus, n. s. 



Thorax with rudimentary wings, the upper face of the meta- 

 thorax as long as the posterior face, with moderately distinct arese ; 

 abdomen ovate ; the 2nd segment narrow at the base, the width of 

 the apex equal to the length ; the 3rd almost longer than the 

 width of the base, apex narrower than the base ; remainder trans- 

 verse ; aculeus very short, only just projecting. This genus is 

 very near to Cremnodes, but the metathorax is of a different 

 shape, the 1st segment of the abdomen is broader, the '2nd 

 narrower at the apex. It differs from Foester's description of his 

 genus, vv^hich is very short and as follows :—" Metanotum not 

 slanting from the base ; the 1st joint of the flagellum not longer 

 than the 2nd." In Mr. Marshall's insect the 1st joint is longer 

 than the 2nd. It seems a connecting-link between Cremnodes and 

 Apterophygus, having the antennae as in the former, and meta- 

 notum as in the latter. 



Shining ; head almost cubical, smooth ; antennae subclavate, 

 about three-fourths the length of the body, with 20 joints ; 1st 

 joint of the flagellum about twice as long as wide, the 2nd about 

 one-fourth shorter than the 1st, the 5th quadrate. Thorax one- 

 third longer than high, narrower than the head, depressed ; meso- 

 notum smooth, parapsides only present in front ; wings rudi- 

 mentary, scarcely extending beyond the base of the scutellum, 

 which is smooth; metanotum with regixlar areas; supero-medial 

 pentagonal, as broad as long ; lateral areae divided, terminated
