the length of the latter; discal transverse vein straight, obliquely 

 parted from the hind border by about thrice its own length from the 

 border, and by more than twice its length from the flexure of the prae- 

 brachial.

 Long. 2 1 ; alar. 5 lin. 



Frontalia widening in front ; bristles of the front descending to half 

 the length of the face ; face vertical ; facialia bristly to half the length ; 

 epistoma not prominent ; palpi black. Antennae not reaching the epi- 

 stoma ; second joint a little longer than deep ; third linear, truncated, 

 twice the length of the second ; fourth indistinct ; fifth very short ; 

 sixth bare, stout to half the length, nearly twice the length of the third ; 

 thorax with three black stripes. Costal vein prominent as far as the tip 

 of the subcostal, where it is armed with a spine, ending at a little in 

 front of the tip of the wing ; subcostal vein ending at much beyond 

 one-third of the length ; mediastinal vein ending at a little beyond half 

 of the length ; radial vein ending at five-sixths of the length ; cubital 

 vein ending very near the tip of the costal ; praebrachial vein forming 

 a right angle at the flexure, which emits a very short branch, much 

 curved inward between this and the tip ; discal transverse vein curved 

 inward, parted by less than its length from the border, and by very 

 much more than its length from the flexure of the pra3brachial. 



Rare. In Mr. Desvignes's collection. (E.) 



43. evocata, n. Nigro-senea, cinereo-subtomentosa, palpis nigris t 

 capite albo, thorace non vittato, alis nigricantibus apice margineque

 3i lin. 



Frontalia deep black; bristles of the front descending along the 

 whole face ; epistoma not prominent ; palpi black. Antennae nearly 

 reaching the epistoma ; third joint slender, linear, rounded at the tip, 

 about thrice the length of the second; sixth much longer than the 

 third. Thorax not striped. Costal vein ending in front at a short dis- 

 tance from the tip of the wing ; subcostal vein ending at about one- 

 third of the length ; mediastinal vein ending before half the length ; 

 radial vein ending at about five-sixths of the length ; cubital vein join- 

 ing the costal at its tip ; praebrachial vein forming a slightly acute 

 angle at its flexure, near which it is curved inward, and is thence indis- 

 tinctly curved outward to its tip, joining the cubital far from the tip of 

 the latter ; discal transverse vein with two very slight curves, parted 

 by very much more than its own length from the border and from the 

 flexure of the praebrachial.
