5 . Apparently closely allied to polyacantha Per. but' differing 

 from it in the closely punctured mesonotum and the greater number 

 of spines on the apical portion of the tibiaj. Head and thorax black, 

 face below the antennae including the labrum and mandibles except 

 at the apex, the orbits of the eyes, the antenne?., with the exception 

 of the intermediate joints which are fuscous, the pronotum, tegulae, 

 tubercles, scutellum, post-scutellum and almost the entire mesopleurge 

 rufotestaceous ; legs and abdomen entirely of that colour, wings 

 brown with a very conspicuous clear spot beyond the 3rd submarginal 

 cell. Face clothed with short scattered pale hairs, labrum with a 

 small tubercle near the middle, clypeus shining, finely and rather 

 remotely punctured, face below the antennae rather remotely, above 

 them closely punctured ; antennae with the 2nd and 3rd joints of 

 the flagellum subequal, the 3rd and following joints subquadrate ; 

 mesonotum shining, closely and deeply 'punctured, the intervals 

 between the punctures much narrower than the punctures them- 

 selves, scutellum slightly raised into two obtuse tubercles largely 

 and less closely punctured than the thorax, propodeum finely 

 rugulose, its area more or less clathrate at the base, each side with 

 a patch of silvery white hairs ; posterior tibia?, with their external 

 apex densely clothed with black spines numbering probably 20 

 or more but so closely packed that I find it impossible to count 

 them ; abdomen very shining, short oval, 1st segment impunctate 

 or nearly so, the rest finely and regularly punctured on the basal 

 half, impunctate on the apical, 5th fringed with whitish hairs at 

 the apex, 2nd and following segments more or less clothed with 

 silvery hairs at the sides. 

 Long. 8 mm.

(J $ . Exceedingly like pmiurgina, Mor., head and thorax black, 

 mouth parts, labrum, clypeus in the $ , antenna3, pronotum, tegulae 

 scutellum and post-scutellum, mesopleuras and sterna ferruginous- 

 red, in the $ , 2 spots on the scutellum and 1 on the jjost- 

 scutellum and a small spot on the mesopleurae only in the ^ ; 

 abdomen ferruginous-red, its base and a lateral spot at the base
