surface, with a row of fine spines upon either side, a single 

 row beneath ; upper surface flat from tip to quite near the 

 base, where it is suddenly rounded ; ovipositor very small, 

 slender, sharply upturned. The only specimen I have seen 

 was preserved in alcohol, but still exhibits a short, median, 

 longitudinal, blood-red streak on the face, and has the pos- 

 terior third of the lateral carinse of prothorax, with the 

 whole hind border, edged with black. 



Length of wing-cover, 2.2 in. ; breadth, .8 in. ; length 

 of wings beyond wing-cover, .2 in. ; of hind femora, 1.2 

 in. ; of ovipositor, .25 in. 1 .

This species varies very much in size, and in the pro-
