 than its length, and by less than its length from the flexure of the 

 prsebrachial.

134. objecta, n. Nigra, cano-tomentosa, capite albo, antennis basi 

 , thorace non vittato, alis subcinereis, alulis albidis, abdomine ovato, 



vitta dorsali et segmentorum marginibus posticis uigris, pedibus fulvis, 

 femoribus basi et tarsis nigris. Long. 2 ; alar. 4 lin. 



Frontalia deep black, linear ; bristles of the front descending along 

 the whole face ; face vertical ; facialia without bristles ; epistoma not 

 prominent ; lateralia reddish ; palpi tawny. Antenna nearly reaching 

 the epistoma ; first and second joints red ; second nearly twice longer 

 than deep ; third linear, rounded at the tip, longer than the second ; 

 fourth indistinct ; fifth short ; sixth minutely pubescent, stout for one- 

 fourth of the length, full twice the length of the third. Thorax not 

 striped. Costal vein with a spine by the tip of the subcostal, ending 

 at some distance in front of the tip of the wing ; subcostal vein ending 

 at one-third of the length ; mediastinal vein ending at much before half 

 of the length. Radial vein ending at about four-fifths of the length ; 

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

 forming a very obtuse angle at its flexure, hardly curved inward, from 

 thence to the tip, which joins the tip of the cubital; discal transverse 

 vein, with two slight curves, parted by more than its length from the 

 flexure of the preebrachial and from the border.

135. demissa, n. Nigra, gracilis, capite albo, palpis fulvis cla- 

 vatis, thorace non vittato, alis cinereis antice nigricantibus, alulis albis, 

 abdomine fusiformi hirsutissimo. Long. 3 ; alar. 5 lin. 



Frontalia piceous black, widening in front ; bristles of the front des- 

 cending along the whole face ; face vertical ; facialia without bristles ; 

 epistoma not prominent. Antennas reaching the epistoma; second 

 joint much longer than deep ; third linear, truncated, twice the length 

 of the second ; fourth indistinct ; fifth very short ; sixth bare, stout to 

 one-fourth of the length, nearly twice the length of the third. Thorax 

 not striped. Costal vein a little convex as far as the tip of the sub-cos- 

 tal, ending at some little distance in front of the tip of the wing ; sub- 

 costal vein ending at one third of the length ; mediastinal vein ending 

 at very little beyond one third of the length ; radial vein ending at five- 

 sixths of the length ; cubital vein ending at the tip of the costal ; pra3- 

 brachial vein forming an obtuse angle at the flexure, with two indis- 

 tinct curves between that and the tip, which joins the cubital far from 

 the tip of the latter ; discal transverse vein parted by much more than 

 its length from the border, and by nearly twice its length from the 

 flexure of the praBbrachial.
