MEGACXELUAf. 235 



Genus MEGACXELUM. (Vol. II, p. 427.) 



I am now able to add the descriptions of eight more species 

 of this genus, though probably the enumeration is still very 

 inadequate. 



3010. Megacoelum insignia, Dist. A.M.N. H. (8) iv, p. 444 (1909) 



Very pale ochraceous ; antennae with the under surface of the 

 first joint, a central annulation and apex to second joint, and two 

 contiguous annulations and apex to third joint, black ; eyes black ; 

 narrow lateral margins to pronotum, narrow lateral margins to 

 scutellum (excluding base), narrow margins to the claval suture, 

 a basal subcostal line to corium and three prominent rounded 

 spots one before costal margin near middle, the other two before 

 basal margin of cuneus black ; apex of rostrum black ; head with 

 a fine central longitudinal sulcation between the eyes ; first pint 

 of antenna? nearly half as long as second joint, third a little 

 shorter than second (fourth mutilated in typical specimen) ; 

 rostrum slightly passing the posterior coxa? ; corium shortly 

 sparingly palely pilose ; membrane considerably passing the ab- 

 dominal apex ; posterior legs mutilated in typical specimen ; 

 anterior and intermediate tibia? spinulose. 



Length incl. membr., , 9 millim.

3011. Megaccelum tibialis, Dist. A. M. N. H. (8) iv, p. 445 (1909). 



Black, finely shortly greyishly pilose ; antennae with the first 

 joint black, second and third joints ochraceous, base and apex of 

 second joint narrowly black ; legs black, apices of anterior and 

 intermediate femora, the anterior and intermediate tibiae (excluding 

 extreme apices), coxa?, and the tarsi (more or less) ochraceous ; 

 head finely, centrally, longitudinaly, sulcately impressed between 

 the eyes ; antennae with the first joint moderately thickened, about 

 half as long as second, third distinctly shorter than second (fourth 

 joint mutilated in typical specimen) ; rostrum piceous and reaching 

 the posterior coxae ; apex of cuneus castaneous ; membrane 

 fuscous, reflecting the dark abdomen beneath and moderately 

 passing the abdominal apex ; tibiae finely spinulose, the spinules 

 black ; first joint of posterior tarsi a little shorter than second 

 joint. 



Length incl. membr., 8 millim.
