dull grey. Abdomen smooth, shining, the basal seement 
with a few scattered punctures; the sides and belly 
covered with a whitish pubescence, which, however, is 
not so long as that on the thorax. Wings almost hyaline, 
large ; nervures and stigma black; transverse cubital, 
radial, and recurrent nervures white in the middle; 
transverse median nervure received before the middle of 
the cellule; accessory nervure in hind wings almost 
interstitiate. Length 43 lin. 
Slightly larger than D. jfissus (cenchris), but the an- 
tenne are shorter, thicker, and not so attenuated at the 
apex, punctuation on mesonotum not so deep, while the 
pile is longer and thicker, the transverse median nervure 
is received nearer the base than apex of the cellule, the 
contrary being the case with jissus, and the cenchri 
smaller and dull grey. The saw too is differently in- 
dented at the edge.

Dolerus intermedius, n. 8. 
Black, shining, covered with a short scattered pube- 
scence. Head roughly punctured; sutures on vertex 
distinct and very shining; the whole of the scutellum 
and the middle lobe of mesonotum punctured; the 
lateral lobes also punctured, but not so deeply and more 
irregularly ; cenchri large, clear ivory-white. Abdomen 
longer than the head and thorax, bulged out in the 
middle, the basal segment impunctate, the following 
finely shagreened, three basal segments glabrous, the 
rest slightly pilose; blotch distinct. Antenne slightly 
thickened in the middle, shorter than the abdomen, the 
third joint a little longer than the fourth, the last 
sharply conical. Spurs pale at the apex, the hinder pair 
reaching to the middle of the metatarsus, which is pale, 
curved at the base, and thickened at the apex, and 
scarcely longer than the two succeeding joints. Wings 
hyaline, slightly infuscated at the extreme apex, acces- 
sory nervure in hind wings appendiculated; costa, 
stigma, and nervures black, save the transverse nervures 
and the lower part of stigma, which are milk-white. The 
male has the head and thorax more deeply punctured, 
the antenne thicker and as long as the abdomen and 
half the thorax ; the third joint almost shorter than the 
fourth. Length 33—4 lin.
