LISSOXOTA. CTENOPIHPLA. 231 



clypeus broadly apically and more broadly centrally, mandibles 

 except apically, arid the palpi, flavous. Antennce : scape flavous 

 beneath. Thorax : propleurae flavous below. Abdomen with the 

 closely, distinctly and longitudinally aciculate first segment (which 

 is glabrous at centre and apex) entirely, basal third of the closely 

 and regularly punctate second, and the bases of the similarly 

 sculptured third and apically smooth fourth segments narrowly, 

 red ; apices of the second and third flavous with a rufescent tinge ; 

 apical segments smooth and nitidulous, with the last and apex of 

 penultimate white; terebra longer than half the body (5 millim.). 

 Legs red, with the anterior coxae (except intermediate apically), 

 and their trochanters, flavous ; hind tibiae and tarsi black. Wings 

 hyaline with the stigma and nervures nigrescent; areolet not 

 petiolate. 



Length 8 millim. 



CEYLON : Peradeniya (E. E. Green). 



The aciculate basal segment is remarkable. Unknown to me.

GENOTYPE, C. olbomaculata, Cam. 



Head anteriorly transverse ; eyes large, internally parallel, 

 margined below and not emarginate ; cheeks distinct; clypeus 

 roundly projecting, deeply separated basally and apically rounded ; 

 mandibles equally bideutate apically. Antennae not shorter than 

 body. Notauli obsolete ; metanotum transversely carinate before 

 its apex, with the spiracles at apex of basal, third, small and oval. 

 Abdominal segments shagreened and longer than broad ; petiolar 

 spiracles small and subcircular, near apex of basal third ; terebra 

 elongate and not emitted from a ventral fold. Legs distinctly 

 slender, with the tarsal claws pectinate ; hind tarsi spinose, front 

 ones double the length of their tibiae. Areolet small, obliquely 

 triangular, externally incomplete, with its petiole as long as its 

 height, and emitting the recurrent nervure near its apex.

Its author compares this genus with Lissonota, though its pec- 

 tinate claws relate it more closely to Meniscus ; therefrom he says 

 it differs, apart from the structure of the claws, in the petiolate 

 areolet, more slender and elongate legs, and in the three basal 

 segments being comparatively longer, which are not very tangible 

 characters.
