carina, the apex scarcely emarginate. The second and thud 

 cubital cells are about equal in length on the radial nervure; 

 the first recurrent nervure is received just beyond the middle 

 of the second cubital cell, the second at one-quarter from the 

 base of the third cubital cell. The basal joint of the posterior 

 tarsi is nearly equal in length to the second and thud joints 

 combine J. 



Black; a small spot at the apex of the clypeu^, a small 

 spot on each side at the apex of the second to fitth abdominal 

 segments, continued in a very narrow band, interrupted in the 

 middle, on tlie apical margin of the fourth and fifth segments, 

 the anterior tibise and tarsi above, the basal joint of the 

 intermediate tarsi and the spines of the tibiaj yellowish 

 white. Wings hyaline, slightly iridescent, nervures black.

This is not a Myzine, but the male of a Plesia, and seems 

 to be nearest to clavata, Sauss., from the Transvaal. The 

 almost total absence of a deep slit in the seventh dorsal

 noticeable in this group as iu most of the Oriental species of 

 JPlesia.

Antlwhosca moderata, sp. n. 



^ . Clypeus short, not advanced, and very broadly truncate 

 on the apical margin ; minutely punctured, with a short, 

 delicate, longitudinal carina which does not extend either to 

 the base or the apex, thinly clothed with grey pubescence. 

 Head rounded, finely and closely punctured, sparsely clothed 

 with long grey pubescence ; the antennse inserted rdther 

 nearer to the eyes than to each other, shorter than the thorax 

 and median segment combined, stout, slightly tapering to 

 the apex and very finely pubescent ; the third joint of the 

 flagellum longer than the second. Posterior ocelli further 

 from the eyes than fro.m each other. Thorax and median 

 segment very finely and ^losely punctured, opaque, the pro- 

 pleurge shining and more^sparsely punctured, the pronotum
