IGO Mr. P. Cameron on new 



tlie basal joint of liind tarsi not lonpfor than the following 

 two united; calcaria short, claws cleft. Wings with three 

 cubital cellules — the radial cellule long, the second cubital 

 cellule behind shorter than the first, narrowed in front, 

 the transverse cubital nervures converging in front, straight, 

 oblique ; the recui-rent nervure is received near the base of 

 the apical third of the first cubital cellule. Transverse basal 

 nervure almost interstitial, anal nervure not interstitial. 

 Middle lobe of mesonotum clearly raised. Metanotum 

 areolated. Apex of clypeus transverse. Labrura projecting, 

 rounded. Lower part of frontal depression bordered by a 

 curved keel; in the centre is a short stout keel, not reaching 

 to the middle above. Head cubital; temples wide, occiput 

 margined. Thorax about four times longer than wide. 

 First abdominal segment "broad, longer than the following 

 two united. Antennae pilose, the first joint of the flagellum 

 not much shorter than the second. Palpi very long, the 

 maxillary reaching to the middle coxae, 5-jointed. 



The affinities of this genus are wiih EvsceUnus, also from 

 Borneo. The latter has the hind femora greatly thickened, 

 the thorax shorter and broader, and the recurrent nervure is 

 received in the second, not in the first cubital cellule.

Black ; a broad ring on the middle of the antennae; the 

 four front legs except their coxae, basal half (or nearly) of 

 hind tibite and their tarsi whitish yellow. A\ ings hyaline,

Kuching, August [R. Shelford, M.A.). 



Antennsfj stout, densely pilose, longer than the body. 

 Head above the antennae smooth, coai'sely rugosely punctui'ed, 

 almost reticulated below. The depressed base of pronotum 

 is coarsely, irregularly striated, the raised upper part smooth 

 and shining. Apex of middle lobe of pronotum coarsely, 

 irregularly reticulated. Scutellum flat, longish, punctured. 

 Postscutellum with two square areae at the base and two 

 longer and deeper ones at the apex. There are three rows 

 of areae on the metanotum, the central longer and narrower 

 than the others, the central is the longest, the basal the 

 shortest ; there is a large, irregular, spiracular area, rugose 

 and irregularly striated. IMetapleurae coarsely, closely reti- 

 culated ; mesopleurae smooth in the centre, strongly 

 punctiired above and below, as is also the case with the 

 propleurae. First abdominal segment irregularly wrinkled ;
