segment as long as the mesonotum and scutellum combined, 

 with a low carina from the base not reaching the apex, 

 transversely striated, distinctly convex, the sides almost 

 parallel, longer than broad, vertically truncate posteriorly ; 

 the surface of the truncation transversely striated, with a 

 median sulcus ; the sides o£ the segment vertically striated. 

 Abdomen slightly pruinose, with faint traces of apical fascioG 

 of silvery pubescence on tergites 2-4 ; pygidial area large, 

 elongate-triangular, narrowly truncate at the apex, a row of 

 stifE setae on the a[)ical margin. Steriiites rather sparsely 

 and finely punctured ; second sternite convex, depressed on 

 each side at the base as in the genus Notogonli. Tarsal 

 comb long, four spines on the basal joint of the fore tarsus; 

 ungues very long. Recurrent nervures very near together 

 on the cubitus ; second abscissa of the radius less than half as 

 long as the third.

This is very like Notogonia goiodegi^ Turn., but the man- 

 dibles are entire as in Liris. It also closely resembles tlie 

 Oriental species of Liris allied to ducalis, Sm.

cJ. Clypeus and front closely punctured, covered with 

 white pubescence. Anterior ocellus situated in a shallow 

 depression, larger than the posterior pair which touch the 

 eyes. Joints of the (iagellum a little widened from the base 

 to the apex, the second hatf as long again as the third. 

 Eyes touching on the vertex. Mesonotum and mesopleuriie 

 very closely and not very finely punctured, the punctures 

 more or less confluent; scutellum shining, more sparsely 

 punctured. Median segment reticulate, with more or less 

 indistinct longitudinal striae, the sides of the segment very 

 closely punctured. Abdomen smooth and shining ; the 

 steruites finely and sparsely punctured, and sparsely clothed 

 with pale testaceous hairs.' Radial cell oblique at the apex, 

 long; the fourth abscissa of the radius almost as long as the 

 first and third combined ; second cubital cell pointed on the 

 radius, first abscissa of the radius more than half as long as 

 the third and twice as long as the distance between tlie 

 recurrent nervures on the cubitus.
