The name Colganta, Cam., must sink as a sjMionym of 

 Mansa, as pointed out by Morley. 



Cri/ptus exul, sp. n. 



2 . Nigra ; antenuis 32-articulatis. basi rufo-testaceis ; articulis 

 (!-10 albido-flavidulis ; articulis apicalibus nigris ; mandibulis in 

 medio, clypeo, orbitis, segmentis abdominalibus quinto sequenti- 

 busque, aliquando quarto etiam, femoribus, tibiis tarsisque rnfo- 

 ferrugineis ; tarsis posticis articulis secundo tertio quartoqiie 

 flavescentibus ; stigmate basi tegulisque albo-tlavidulis ; alis 

 hyalinis leviter infumatis, venis fuscis. 



c? . Feminse similis ; antennis nigris, scapo flavo-testaceo ; seg- 

 mento abdomiuali quarto aut toto aut dimidio apicali rufo- 

 ferrugineo. 

 Long., 2 J 9 mm., terebrae long. 3 mm. ; c? , 8 mm. 



? . Antenna filiform, the apical joint strongly excavated 

 beneath; third and fourth joints about equal in length. 

 Clvpeus truncate at the apex ; mandible short, ending in two 

 equal teeth. Face closely and finely punctured ; front and 

 vertex opaque, finely shagreened. Mesonotum deflexed 

 anteriorly, finely shagreened ; the parapsidal furrows distinct, 

 but very shallow ; pleurfe finely granulate. Median segment 

 with two transverse carinse, both somewhat arched in the 

 middle, the basal portion of the dorsal surface before tlie first 

 carina subopaque and almost smooth ; the apical and smaller 

 portion between the two carinas finely longitudinally striate- 

 rugnlose ; the posterior angles produced into a stout, rounded, 

 lamelliform spine on each side ; spiracles small and round ; 

 the apical slope finely granulate. Abdomen smooth and 

 shining ; second teigite as long as its apical breadth ; valvular 

 broad and flattened. Areolet rather large, the transverse 

 cubital nervures parallel, the cubital margin slightly bent in 

 the middle at the point of reception of the recurrent nervure. 

 Outer angle of the discoidal cell blunt; nervulus interstitial ; 

 nervellus intercepted far below the middle. 



(J . Apical antennal joint not excavated beneath ; spines at 

 the apical angles of the median segment absent ; first tergite 

 long and slender, second nearly twice as long as its apical 

 breadth.

This is not a typical Cryptus, differing in the small round 

 spiracles of the median segment and the parallel-sided areuht. 

 Tlie lamelliform spine at the apical angles of the median 

 segment is a sexual character in this species.
