large obovate or obconical. nearly twice as long as the ring-joint 

 and fnnicle together, clnb as long or longer than the pedicel, 

 ring-joint and fnnicle together, three-jointed. The first fnnicle 

 joint might almost eqnally well be considered as a second ring- 

 joint, bnt it is very closely associated with the second fnnicle- 

 joint and generally continnes the outline of the latter; third 

 funicle joint smaller than the second, which is the largest, and 

 all are short and transverse. Antennae of male hardly differ- 

 ent from those of the female. 



Front wings not very wide, more than twice as long as wide, 

 where widest; submarginal vein greatly thickened on less than 

 its apical half, its basal slender portion subeqnal to the elongate 

 marginal vein, the stigmal vein shortish and robust, with acute 

 projection on the apical side. Discal ciliation consisting of 

 about a score of lines, where the wing is widest, two or three of 

 the lines more or less distinct from the others, especially two 

 near the middle of the wing, one of which originates from the 

 free end of the stigmal vein, the other below this and subparallel 

 to it, but even these lines only stand out clearly defined on their 

 basal part. On the costal half of the wing the cilia are quite 

 irregular. Hind, wings with two rows of discal hairs, neither 

 of which is median in position. .Vbdomen of female acute at 

 apex, elongate, longer than head and thorax together.

Face and front of head infuscate, the antennae more or less 

 darkened, but the short funicle is quite pale. Pronotum and 

 mcsonotum black or nearly (or dark fuscous in balsam) the 

 mesonotum with a yellow median line, united with the yellow 

 hind margin; the axillae are dark, the seutellum, ])o.stscute]lum 

 and propodeum (except at the sides) yellow. Al)domen more 

 or less sordid yellow or reddish, dark or black at the sides and 

 basally, by transmitted light with an appearance of obscure 

 bands. Color of male very similar, perhaps generally paler. 

 Coxae, basal joint of trochanters and the femora notably dark 

 to a large extent, the tibiae paler, but still somewhat infumate. 

 Wings clear hyaline with a distinct smoky cloud enclosing tie 

 stigmal vein, on which it appears darkest, and subinterrupted 

 above the dorsal nuirgin, where it is again quite distinct; the 

 wing basal of this is somewhat irregularly smoky. Longest
