$. Very similar in structure to A. maligna, differing in the sculp- 

 ture of the median segment, which is smooth and shining on the 

 dorsal surface, with the sides very minutely punctured ; in the shape 

 of the second tergite, which is much broader at the apex than long, 

 and in the slightly longer terebra.

Agathiella maligna, sp. n. 



$. Nigra; capite, thorace, pedibusque anticis rulis ; antennis 

 segmentoque mediano nigris; segmentis abdominalibus duobus 

 basalibus albo-flavidis, tergitis duobus basalibus macula magna 

 mediana nigra; tibiis intermediis posticisque macula parva basali 

 albo-flavida; alis fuscis, stigmate nigro.

$. Head smooth and shining; seen from in front much broader 

 than long. Thorax smooth and shining, the parapsidal furrows 

 al >sent ; median segment finely punctured-rugulose, the apex smooth, 

 the sides of the segment very finely punctured and sparsely clothed 

 with short white hairs. First tergite distinctly longer than its 

 apical breadth; second tergite a little longer than broad, with a 

 rather indistinct impressed transverse line near the middle, which 

 curves towards the sides and becomes obsolete before reaching the 

 anterior angles; a slightly oblique lateral groove running from near 

 the anterior angles to the middle of the lateral margin. Valvulae 

 clothed with short delicate hairs. Second cubital cell very small, 

 petiolate.
