STICTOLISSOXOTA. 217 



Metathorax large and apically rounded, closely and uniformly 

 punctate, with no area? ; spiracles small and oval; metapleural 

 carinse distinct. Abdomen short and not much longer than the 

 thorax ; three basal segments strongly and closely punctate ; the 

 first sessile and broad, longer than the second and roundly dilated 

 basally ; anus truncate and laterally compressed, with no distinct 

 hypopygium. Legs elongate, with the apices of the joints spinose ; 

 front tibia? with hut a single calcai', long, slender and more than, 

 half the length of the metatarsus ; claws closely pectinate. 

 Areolet sessile, emitting the recurrent nervure beyond its centre ; 

 the transverse median nervure received shortly beyond the trans- 

 verse basal ; hind wings with the first recurrent nervure inter- 

 cepted near the bottom.

The single calcar, pectinate claws, the conformation of the 

 clypeus, etc., indicate a relationship between this genus and my 

 ApopJnta, from which the entire areolet and the abdominal con- 

 formation will easily distinguish it. Its author says (L c.) : 

 " The type of this genus looks moi'e like a. Cryptid than a PimplicL 

 It should be readily known by the strongly punctured basal 

 abdominal segments, with the first roundly difated at the base ; 

 the known species of LISSONOTINI have the abdomen smooth and 

 shining, at the most shagreened. The absence of lateral impressed 

 lines on abdominal segments 2-5 separates it from the PIMPLIM, 

 "with which it agrees in having the segments punctured ; but it has 

 a much more slender form, with much longer and more slender 

 antenna?. The long, slender, white-banded antenna? add con- 

 siderably to its resemblance to a, Cryptid." Though this genus 

 and the preceding appear to fall most naturally into different 

 divisions of the PlMPLTtfJE, their similar modifications of structure 

 are very remarknble and show them to be not distantly allied 

 forms.

$ . A black species, with flavescent markings. Head closely 

 and distinctly punctate ; cheeks, mandibles (except apically), the 

 sparsely punctate clypeus (except laterally), and " the sides of the 

 face broadly, the mark obliquely narrowed to a point above the 

 antennae, the mark as wide as the black central part," flavous ; 

 palpi fulvous and basally paler. Antennce covered with dense, 

 obsolete pubescence ; scape broadly at the apex, and the eighth to 

 sixteenth nagellar joints, white. Tliorax with two large hamate 

 marks on the strongly punctate mesonotum, proplenra? broadly 

 below, callosities beneath all the radices, and "a large mark, 

 longer than wide, transverse above and at the sides, roundly 

 dilated in the middle below,'' the position of which is not indicated 

 by the author, flavous : metathorax closelv punctate, its sides and
