2. Teuchulahls anmdata, n. sp. (PI. X., fig. G3, wiof^.) 

 ^ , $ . Front black ; palpi brown ; rostrnm and first joint of 

 the antcnnfe yellow ; flagellum brown or black. Mesonotum 

 shining, with three broad, more or less confluent, shining, deep 

 broad stripes, the middle one not reaching the suture, the lateral 

 ones not extending far in front of it ; elsewhere the mesoKotum, 

 like the scutellum and anterior part of the metanotum, is light 

 yellow. Pleurte dark yellow or brown ; when seen obliquely, with 

 a silvery sheen. Posterior part of metanotum brown. Abdomen 

 yellow, with a broad brown band on the anterior part of each 

 segment. Legs yellow ; all the femora brown at the tip, and with 

 a brownish ring beyond the middle ; all the tibia3 and the first 

 three tarsal joints brown at the tip, the last two joints of the tarsi 

 black. Wings hj'aline ; the stijma and a cloud at the end of the 

 costa — sometimes obsolete — brown. Length 7-8 mm. 



Twelve specimens. In one female the abdomen is black, 

 with a narrow yellow posterior margin to the segments ; 

 ill others brown, with a broader yellow border. The 

 neuration is very much like that of T. com'plexa ; both the 

 second and third veins are cui'ved less, and the second 

 vein extends further towards the tin of the wino-.

1. ? Ell{].')tera, sp. (PI, X., figs. 04, wiog ; 6ia, genitalia.) 



$ . Head brownish, or brow.iish yellow, including rostrum and 

 palpi. Antennae yellow, the first two joints red. Mesonotum 

 brownish grey, with four narrow, brownish stripes ; humeri and 

 sides of prothorax light yellow. Pleurae yellow, obscurely brown- 

 ish in places. Abdomen light luteous yellow. Legs yellow ; the 

 tip of femora, tibiae, and the distal joints of the tarsi brownish. 

 Wings hyaline ; stigma faintly brown. Length 5 mm. 



One specimen. The present species can hardly be a 

 true Ulliptera, because the anterior veins do not show 

 the approximation characteristic of that genus, but it 

 seems to agree in all other respects. The antennae are 

 sixteen-jointed, the joints oval in shape ; the thorax is 

 gently convex, the pronotum small, the abdomen is 

 elongate, etc. The neuration is shown in the figure. 

 There are uo spurs to the tibia3.
