This species differs from most of the species included in the 
genus, in having the abdomen sessile and the metathorax trun- 
eated ; but the wings agree in their neuration with the type, the 
first recurrent nervure uniting with the second transverse one, 
and the second submarginal cell being elongated. 
12. MyGNIMIA VESPIFORMIS. B.M. 
Female. Length 14 lines.—Black : head without pubescence ; 
the antennz, palpi, labrum and mandibles, ferruginous; the 
apex of the latter black. Thorax : the tibiz, tarsi, and apex of 
the femora more or less reddish-yellow ; wings dark fuscous, 
with a violet iridescence ; a subhyaline spot at the base of the 
second discoidal cell, and a transverse line near the apex of the 
first submarginal cell; the thorax is nearly destitute of pubes- 
cence, there being only a few long hairs on the anterior coxe, 
and a very short pubescence on the disk ; the metathorax trans- 
versely rugose-striate, and rounded behmd. Abdomen thinly 
covered with short pubescence, concolorous with the parts it 
covers ; the basal segment black, a band of the same colour on 
the margin of the second, united by a central stripe to a narrow 
one on the basal margin; the third and fourth segments have a 
fuscous band on their apical margins; the apex having some 
long ferruginous pubescence. The bands on the abdomen differ 
considerably in depth of colouring, in some specimens being only 
fuscous.
