acute, the supero-medial area of metathorax has almost 

 parallel sides, and the post-petiole is shining ; while the 

 other has the sides of the supero-medial area converging, 

 and post-petiole opaque. Thomson has placed L. trans- 

 fiiga in the genus Nemcritis, hut Holmgren, who made 

 the two genera Limneria and Nemeritis, has placed it in 

 the former.
