the epistoma ; second joint more than twice longer than deep ; third 

 linear, rounded at the tip, about twice the length and breadth of the 

 second, with a distinct aperture ; sixth very minutely pubescent, more 

 than twice the length of the third. Scutellum ferruginous towards the 

 hind border. Costal vein terminating in front of the tip of the wing ; 

 subcostal vein about one-third of the length ; mediastinal vein a little 

 more than half the length ; radial vein ending at much beyond three- 

 fourths of the length ; cubital vein joining the costal near its tip ; prae- 

 brachial vein forming a right angle at its flexure, which emits a long 

 branch, near this it is deeply curved inward, and is thence straight to 

 its tip ; discal transverse vein with the fore curve more distinct than 

 the hinder, parted from the hind border by less, and from the flexure 

 of the prsebrachial by much less than its own length. Abdomen ferru- 

 ginous on each side towards tJie base.

Frontalia widening in front ; bristles of the front descending to one- 

 third of the face ; epistoma prominent. Antennas almost reaching the 

 epistoma ; second joint more than twice longer than deep ; third slightly 

 widening towards the tip, which is rounded, very much broader than 

 the second, and full twice its length ; sixth nearly twice the length of 

 the third, gradually tapering from the base to the tip. Scutellum black. 

 Costal vein terminating at a little in front of the tip of the wing ; sub- 

 costal vein ending beyond one-third of the length; mediastinal vein 

 ending beyond half the length ; radial vein ending at five-sixths of the 

 length; cubital vein ending near the pra3brachial ; prsebrachial vein 

 with a long branch at its flexure, which forms a right angle, near this 

 it is slightly curved inward, and thence straight to its tip ; discal trans- 

 verse vein with very slight curves, parted from the border by much more 

 than half its length, and by much less than its length from the flexure 

 of the prsebrachial. Abdomen ferruginous on each side at the base. Ti-
