the two basal segments more or less discally black. Leys dark red, 

 with the anterior flavidous in front; hind coxae broadly above, 

 the apical third of their tibiae, and their onychii, black ; hind tarsi 

 spinose, with their basal joint fully four times the length of the 



second and double that of the 

 remainder united. Winys 

 infumate-hyaline; "the re- 

 current uervure is received 

 shortly before the middle of 

 the cellule; the transverse 

 median shortly before the 

 transverse basal ; " stigma 

 testaceous. 



Length 17 millim.

" A smaller and more 

 slender species than H. reti- 

 culatum ; may be known 



from it by the petiole aud 

 hinder COS{B being bkck 



above, by the front and 



vertex being distinctly reticulated, by the apex of the petiole not 

 being abruptly narrowed into a point, but nai-rowed gradually, 

 and by the much shallower mesosternal furrow." (Cameron, Z. c.) 

 I have seen a male in the Genoa Museum which agrees so per- 

 fectly with the description of the female as to leave no doubt 

 respecting their relationship. I canuot consider a male taken in 

 Formosa by Wileman in 1908 as distinct, though the hind coxae 

 are immaculate red.
