Type in the Oxford Museum. 



This species " agrees closely in coloration with Eugalta albitarsts, 

 but differs in having the median segment [metathorax] entirely 

 black, in the complete areolet, in the base of the postscutellmn 

 being rounded, not depressed, and with the sides margined, in the 

 medfan segment not being furrowed at the base, in the base of the 

 petiole being broadly white, and in having on its underside, near 

 the base, a curved sharp tooth " (Cameron, loc. cit.). 



To the above description I will add that the head is buccate and 

 wosteriorly hardly narrower than the internally subparallel, and 

 not at all emarginate, eyes ; that the metanotum is evenly and 

 strongly rugose throughout, with no trace of areas, and apically 

 produced on either side of the petiole, its spiracles being minute 

 and distinctly oval ; the hypopygium does not extend to the base 

 of the terebra ; the subpetiolar spine is reduced, in the $ I have 

 examined, to little more than a tubercle (it is part of the ventral 

 plication, and doubtless varies in desiccation) ; and the second 

 recurrent nervure of the lower wings is very strongly postfurcal 

 and intercepted at its upper fifth. 



31. Pseudeugalta moloch, sp. n. 



. A black and slender species, with the legs mainly ochraceous, 

 prothorax flavous and wings apically infumate. Head unusually 

 narrow and not bordered behind the internally entire eyes ; face 

 laterally glabrous and flavous, centrally strongly punctate and 

 longitudinally subelevated ; frons more narrowly flavous and very 

 sparsely punctate ; clypeus flavous and deplanate, centrally sub- 

 impressed and apically rounded ; mandibles and cheeks flavous. 

 Antenna? slender, nearly filiform and but slightly shorter than the 

 body, rufesceut throughout, with the very deeply excised scape 

 flavous beneath and basally infuscate above. Thorax cylindrical 

 and discally subdeplanate, black, with the prothorax, very short 

 lines before tegulae and two beneath each hind wing, flavous : 

 mesonotum strongly punctate and dull, with but obsolete notauli ; 

 metathorax evenly punctate throughout to the apex, with no trace 

 of areae, the lateral carinae only apically strong, and the spiracles 

 transverse-linear. Scutellum black and nitidulous. Abdomen very 

 slender, dull and shagreened, black, with the base of the segments 

 indefinitely rufescent ; basal half of the elongate and subnitidulous 

 first segment ochraceous : terebra (11 millim.) a little longer than 

 the apically subcompressed abdomen (9 millim.), with the valvulae 

 very slender and hardly pilose. Legs strongly elongate and dull 

 flavous, with the hind femora, their coxae (except busally), the 

 apices (broadly) and extreme base (very narrowly) of the hind 

 tibiae, with their calcaria and the extreme base of their tarsi, 

 black. Wings somewhat strongly flavescent, with the apices of 

 the anterior* pair definitely infumate; radius not arcuate above 

 the elongately petiolate areolet ; basal nervure continuous
