  This 
  species 
  differs 
  considerably 
  in 
  both 
  sexes 
  from 
  

   P. 
  flavomaculata, 
  Andre, 
  the 
  type 
  of 
  the 
  genus, 
  especially 
  in 
  

   the 
  absence 
  of 
  lateral 
  spines 
  on 
  the 
  hypopygium 
  of 
  the 
  male 
  

   and 
  in 
  the 
  sculpture 
  of 
  the 
  second 
  abdominal 
  segment 
  in 
  

   the 
  female.

  I 
  was 
  wrong 
  in 
  placing 
  this 
  species 
  in 
  my 
  genus 
  Parela- 
  

   phroptera, 
  and 
  also 
  in 
  my 
  suggestion 
  that 
  it 
  might 
  prove 
  to 
  

   be 
  the 
  female 
  of 
  P. 
  rollei, 
  Turn. 
  I 
  have 
  now 
  received 
  

   specimens 
  of 
  the 
  male, 
  and 
  there 
  can 
  be 
  no 
  doubt 
  that 
  the 
  

   insect 
  should 
  be 
  placed 
  in 
  the 
  nearly 
  related 
  genus 
  Anodon- 
  

   tyra,

  Mandibles 
  bidentate, 
  the 
  outer 
  tooth 
  much 
  longer 
  

   than 
  the 
  inner. 
  Clypeus 
  slightly 
  produced 
  and 
  rather 
  nar- 
  

   rowly 
  truncate 
  at 
  the 
  apex, 
  moderately 
  convex, 
  shining 
  and 
  

   almost 
  smooth. 
  Antenna? 
  about 
  as 
  long 
  as 
  the 
  thorax 
  and 
  

   median 
  segment 
  combined, 
  the 
  apical 
  joints 
  slightly 
  arcuate 
  

   beneath, 
  the 
  third 
  joint 
  of 
  the 
  flagellum 
  longer 
  than 
  the 
  

   second. 
  Head 
  finely 
  and 
  very 
  closely 
  punctured, 
  covered 
  

   sparsely 
  with 
  short 
  grey 
  pubescence. 
  Thorax 
  and 
  median 
  

   segment 
  finely 
  and 
  rather 
  closely 
  punctured, 
  the 
  scutellum 
  

   and 
  postscutellum 
  almost 
  smooth, 
  shining 
  ; 
  pronotum 
  

   strongly 
  rounded 
  at 
  the 
  anterior 
  angles 
  ; 
  median 
  segment 
  

   steeply 
  sloped 
  posteriorly. 
  Abdomen 
  strongly 
  but 
  not 
  very 
  

   closely 
  punctured, 
  not 
  very 
  slender, 
  tapering 
  slightly 
  to 
  the 
  

   extremities 
  ; 
  a 
  deep 
  transverse 
  groove 
  close 
  to 
  the 
  base 
  of 
  

   the 
  second 
  dorsal 
  segment 
  ; 
  seventh 
  dorsal 
  segment
