STZETJCTUS. 239 



tegulae flavous, stigma piceous and basally flavescent; areolet 

 triangular, externally pellucid below, as long as its petiole, and 

 emitting the recurrent nervure from its apical third ; first re- 

 current of lower wings postfurcal and straight, emitting the 

 weak and apically curved nervellus from its lower third. 



Length 9| millim. 



The size" and shape of the black thoracic markings are said 

 to be variable. 



5 . Differs materially in colour, but in structure appears 

 identical. The head is flavous with the occiput except behind the 

 eves, centre of vertex, of frons, and very narrowly of face, black. 

 Thorax black with hamate marks on front of, and another on disc 

 of mesonotum, proriotum mainly, mesosternum laterally, a sub- 

 circular mark on rnesopleurse, lines before and callosities beneath 

 radices, metapleurae basally, circularly at apex and before spiracles, 

 as well as its entire apex extending discally to centre, flavous. 

 fScutellum and postscutellum concolorous. Abdomen black, with 

 apices of all the segments, and base of the subglabrous first, 

 flavous ; terebra straight and slender, as long as abdomen and 

 metathorax. Legs as in male, with hind coxae broadly black

Type c? in Col. Nurse's collection. 



Col. Nurse has allowed me to examine Cameron's male type of 

 his Lissonota. zanthoria, which I have described above ; its elongate 

 metathoracic spiracles, however, exclude it from that genus. I 

 have seen another male and five females, which undoubtedly 

 belong to it, on account of their sculpture and especially that of 

 their subdilated flagellum.

$ . A pretty, flavous-marked species, with the abdomen red, 

 and the wings apically infumate. The sculpture and conformation 

 are in all respects identical with those of the last described species, 

 excepting only that the flagellum is not apically dilated and the 

 terebra is fully as long as the abdomen and whole thorax. 

 Head, thorax, scutellum, coxae and trochanters bright flavous. 

 Occiput, vertex and frons to scrobes, broadly black in the centre ; 

 mandibles apically infuscate. Mesopleurae margined throughout 

 with black, except apically below, metathorax with a triangular 

 black mark on either side, meso- and rnetasternum very narrowly,
