476 ^Ir. 1\ Cameron on ncio 



mesonotum and l)a*e of scutellum dark brown and thickly 

 covered with depressed golden pile. Sides of pronotum 

 roundly projecting, its centre furrowed, narrowly below, 

 broadly above. Scutellum raised, flat on the top. Post- 

 scutellum tubercnlate, narrowed towards the top, which 

 rises near to the summit of the scutellum; the apices of both 

 are thickly covered with long black hairs. Median segment 

 deep velvety black, transversely striated, sparsely covered 

 with long fuscous hair; the base behind the spiracles tuber- 

 cnlate. TcguJpe ferruginous. Abdomen deep black : the 

 aj)ical segments thickly covered with long black hair. 



This species has the scutellum tuberculate as in S. zelotypus, 

 Bing., but is very distinct otherwise ; in coloration it agrees 

 closely with S. pereyrinus , Sm., but that has the pronotum 

 rounded at the base and not tuberculate laterally. The basal 

 tooth of the claw is stout, bluntly rounded at the apex, and 

 shorter than the apical. 



Salius tempesiivus, sp. n. 



Black, densely covered with pale golden pu1)escence ; legs 

 black, all the femora (except at the apex and the base of the 

 anterior), the four posterior tibia? (except narrowly at the 

 apex), and the apex of the front tibise narrowly, ferruginous. 

 AVings fuscous-violaceous, the stigma and nervures black; the 

 base from the transverse basal uervure almost hyaline ; the 

 second cubital cellule is slightly, but distinctly, shorter than 

 the third ; the first transverse cubital uervure is straight, 

 oblique, its top obliquely angled ; the first recurrent nervure 

 is received shortly beyond, the second at the apex of the 

 basal third of the cellule, the transverse median widely 

 separated from the basal. Abdomen pruinose; the pygidial 

 area smooth ; its basal half obscurely keeled in the middle ; 

 its sides densely fringed with long fuscous hair. ? . 



Length 17 mm. 



Antennae black, bare. Head densely covered Avitli 

 depressed pale golden })ubescence, which hides the sculpture. 

 The eyes converge slightly above ; the hind ocelli are 

 separated from the eyes by a slightly greater distance than 

 they are from each other. Apex of clypeus smooth, shining, 

 bare, depressed ; the sides slightly, roundly, obliquely curved. 

 Apical half of mandibles rufous; the palpi black, densely 

 covered with white pile. Median segment irregularly, trans- 

 versely striated. Mcsosternum smooth, the furrow narrow, 

 the apex with a transverse keel.
