Myzine albohirta, sp. n. 
3d. Pallide flavus; fronte, mesonoto antice lateribusque, meso- 
pleuris postice sternoque nigris; flagello, segmentis abdominalibus 
dimidio basali, aculeoque pallide rufo-testaceis; alis hyalinis, 
venis testaceis, stigmate flavo. 
Long. 12 mm. 
6. Clypeus short and broad, three times as broad as its 
greatest length, broadly rounded apically. Antenne short 
and stout, about equal in length to the thorax and median 
segment combined, of even thickness throughout; supra- 
antennal tubercles large and flattened. ‘he whole insect 
clothed with white hairs, which are longest on the pleure. 
Head broad and transverse ; eyes converging towards the 
clypeus, their inner margin only slightly sinuate. Pronotum 
twice as broad as long, the anterior margin straight, the hind 
margin only feebly arcuate. The black portion of the meso- 
notum closely punctured, the yellow median portion much 
more sparsely and indistinctly punctured. Scutellum large, 
more than half as long as the mesonotum, broadly subtruncate 
at the apex, moderately convex; median segment short. 
First tergite short, obliquely sloped anteriorly to the very 
short petiole. Abdomen elongate, only slightly narrowed at 
tlre extremities, the segments not constricted, each segment 
pale testaceous red on the basal half. Seventh tergite deeply 
triangularly incised at the apex, rather broadly rounded and 
blunt at the apex on each side of the incision. Sternites 3-7 
with a raised transverse space at the base, which is bounded 
apically by a curved carina, which is produced into a point 
near the middle of each sternite, the basal portion of the raised 
space is coarsely longitudinally striated ; seventh sternite 
produced and rounded at the apex. Seventh tergite longitu- 
dinally striated at the extreme base. Radial cell short and 
broad, first abscissa of the radius equal to the second, third 
about as long as the first and second combined, fourth almost 
«qual to the third; cubital and discoidal nervures extending
