IIEXICOSPILUS. 395 



marginal nervure straight, oblique, not distinctly rounded, but 

 distinctly shorter than the recurrent nervure, whereas in the last 



species it is distinctly rounded 

 and as long as the recurrent 

 nervure ; the present is, too, 

 three millimetres shorter than 

 the last species. Cameron refers 

 to the thorax thus : " Base of 

 metanotum shagreened ; the base 

 of the apical part has one or 

 two longitudinal keels ; the rest 

 with irregular, curved keels 

 pointing towards the apex; the 

 rest is closely covered with 

 roundly curved backwards stria), 

 which, at the apex, extend on 

 to the pleura?. Pro pleurae rather 

 . no. strongly obliquely striated in the 



Henicospilus hortfiddi, Cam. middle ; the rnesopleurae in the 



centre above broadly, and below 

 entirely striated ; the upper part of the metapleurae coarsely, 

 irregularly reticulated ; the rest closely, somewhat strongly T 

 obliquely striated." 

 Length 15-18 millim.

There is a form of this species with the corneous alar mark* 

 entirely wanting, and the face more closely sculptured and with 

 longer pubescence than in the type form, and the costa more 

 conspicuously blackish. 1 cannot, however, bring myself to 

 regard it as of specific rank in so unstable a genus as the present. 

 That it belongs here is, I think, sufficiently shown by the 

 conspicuously glabrous alar area. I have seen two specimens.

c? . A peculiarly small and squat, flavous-marked testaceous 

 species, with the head, legs, antennae, thorax, and especially the 

 metathorax, short and stout. Head posteriorly normal, not 

 constricted, and entirely bright flavous, with only the mandibles 

 darker ; face nitidulous and obsoletely punctate, with an incon-
