 smooth. Apical half of the posterior femora broadly rounded 

 beneath ; basal joint of posterior tarsi with a comb of about ten

 greened. Posterior tibiae with five spines on the outer margin; 

 tarsal ungues bifid. Third abscissa of the radius longer than the

The female is the type. 



The male resennbles the species for wliich Cameron 

 formed the genus Odontothynnus. I have no doubt, how- 

 ever, that he is mistaken in the statement that the 

 ungues of the hind tarsi are simple. In colour the female 

 resembles " Flesia " mclanaria, Cam., which will probably 

 prove to be the female of one of the males described by 

 him under Odontothynnus.
