68 Mr. R. E. Turner on New Species of 



pubescence, microscopically punctured, with a very sparse trans- 

 vei-se row of large punctures near the middle, from each of which 

 springs a long black hair. Eyes distinctly divergent towards the 

 clypeus ; the posterior ocelli as far from each other as from the eyes ; 

 a distinct frontal sulcus reaching the anterior ocellus. Antennae 

 slender, the second joint of the fiagellum as long as the first and third 

 combined. Pronotum strongly arched posteriori}', not angulate 

 in the middle; scutellum rather strongly compressed laterally, 

 the dorsal surface small. Dorsal surface of the median segment 

 shorter than the scutellum, much broader than long, without a 

 median sulcus; the posterior slope oblique and clothed with short 

 whitish pubescence. Abdomen opaque, the basal dorsal segment 

 clothed with greyish scale-like hairs; sixth dorsal segment finely 

 punctured and sparsely clothed with long fuscous hairs, elongate 

 triangular; second ventral segment strongly convex. Third 

 abscissa of the radius longer than the second, as long as the second 

 transverse cubital nervure, the cubital margin of the third cubital 

 cell half as long again as that of the second ; first recurrent nervure 

 received at two-thirds from the base of the second cubital cell, 

 second just beyond the middle of the third cubital cell. Cubitus of 

 the hindwing interstitial. Fore tarsi very feebly spined, the basal 

 joint with three short spines ; hind tibiae feebly spinose. The basal 

 fascia of the forewing is not very broad and is situated on the outer 

 side of the basal nervure, not reaching the costa ; the second fascia 

 very broad, crossing the wing, and occuijying the whole of the radial 

 and second and third cubital cells.

Easily distinguished from lim'pidus by the colour of the 

 antennae and legs, but very close in structure. 



Another group has the tarsal ungues unidentate in both 

 sexes; the joints of the flagellum in the male not arcuate 

 beneath; the second cubital cell always longer than the 

 third on the radius, though not always on the cubitus ; the 

 median segment with a sulcus, usually strongly developed 

 from base to apex ; and the fore tarsi of the female in most 

 species strongly spinose. The species are all black, with 

 white or grey pubescence, rarely with orange close-lying 

 hairs on the pronotum. To this section belong —
