456 Dr. James Waterston on 
from postscutellum, its areae almost completely but in places indis- 
tinctly indicated. Spiracles rather narrow. Wings. The outer- 
most (3rd) abscissa of the radius is straight and the 2nd recurrent 
broken just below $ and with a rudimentary external branch. In 
the hind-wings the nervellus is very slightly antefurcal and broken 
at its lower extremity. The discoidella emitted here and the 
posterior beyond this point are spurious. 
Abdomen, 2nd segment with pronounced punctate striate sculp- 
ture; gastrocoeli large. Hind-legs, especially the femora, robust, 
tarsal ungues strong, simple. 
Fic. 2. Adelotropis jfarquharsoni, sp.n., (a4) Basal joints of 
antenna, (b,c) Wings. 
In its genal characters this genus closely resembles 
Joppa F., but its affinities on the whole are with the 
genera Anisobas Wesm., Listrodromus Wesm., and Neo- 
lypus Forst., particularly with the latter. A further 
indication of the relationship of these four groups is to 
be found in their host attachment—all of them parasitising 
Lycaenids. 
Genotype the following. 
Adelotropis farquharsoni, sp. n. 
®. Head and antennae, up to the 8th normal funicular joint, 
blackish brown except for one large pale spot at the base of the 
mandible, a second along the inner orbit of the eye extending
