Family BETHYLID.E. 



4. EPYRIS TAGALA, new species. 



2L(Je. — Leng-th. ;> nnii. Black and shinino-, with the iiuindibles, the 

 anteniuv, except the tive last joints which are fuscous, and the legs, 

 except the front coxa? which are black, and the hind femora which 

 are brownish black medially, are ferruoinoiis; palpi yellowisii. 



The oblong- head is ver}' distinctly punctured, I)ut the punctures 

 are separated, or only a few here and there are continent. The clypeus 

 is triangular!}' pointed anteriorly, with a distinct median carina that 

 extends between the antennje. The scape of the antenutV is clavate, 

 slightly curved and a little longer than the pedicel anil the tirst joint 

 of the flag'ellum united, the pedicel being very little longer than thick. 

 The first three joints of the flagellum are of an equal length, about 

 three and one-lralf times as long as thick, and cylindrical, the follow- 

 ing joints slightly shortening. The depressed collar has some trans- 

 verse elevated lines. The pronotum is distinctly l>ut sparsely punctate. 

 The mesonotum has two distinct parapsidal furrows that do not quite 

 reach the anterior margin, and on either side is a delicate humeral line. 

 The middle lobe is impunctate, except a row of minute punctures 

 along the parapsidal furrows, the lateral lobes being sparsely ))ut dis- 

 tinctly punctate. The scutellum has a transverse furrow across the 

 base and some sparse minute punctures on its disk. The metathorax 

 is reticulately rugulose. The al)domen is nuich depressed, highly 

 polished, with pubescence toward apex. The tirst segment or petiole 

 with tive or six grooves at base, separated In' folds or carina?; wings 

 hyaline, with a slight fuscous tinge. The teguhe and base of costal 

 vein tla\'o-testaceous; the other veins rufo-testaceous; the stigma 

 darker or reddish brown.

5. DRYINUS BROWNI, new species. 



FeDKile. — Length 7 nun. Black; the four terminal joints of the 

 antenna^ the base of the scape, the apical margin of the bidentate 

 clypeus, the palpi, the anterior coxa? beneath and at apex, the middle 

 and hind coxa? very narrowly at apex, and the teeth of the longer 

 jaw of the claspers of the front legs are white; wings hyaline, with 

 two broad fuliginous bands on the front wings, one before the basal 

 nervure, the other much broader extending across the w^ing from the 

 base of the stigma to the apex of the radius or stigmal vein; the })ase 

 of the stigma is white, corresponding with the white or hyaline band 

 across the wing.
