The type has the apical joints of the antenne orange, but 
J think that this isan aberration ; other specimens apparently 
of the same species have the antenne wholly black.

This has the second joint of the flagellum distinctly shorter 
than the third ; it is a smaller species than the two last, but 
is very closely allied.

9. Nigra, albido-pubescens; tarsis articulo apicali ferrugineo ; 
segmentis dorsalibus 1-4 fascia lata apicali sordide albo-pubes- 
cente ; alis subhyalinis, venis ferrugineis ; tegulis testaceis. 
6. Femine similis; tarsis articulo apicali fusco. 
Long., 9 8-9 mm., ¢ 65 mm. 
9. Clypeus and front closely clothed with silver pubes- 
cence; the clypeus minutely punctured, subcarinate Jongi- 
tudinally in the middle ; the apical margin transverse, smooth 
and shining. Second and third joints of the flagellum sub- 
equal; the eyes separated on the vertex by a distance about 
equal to the length of the second joint of the flagellum. 
Pronotum searcely depressed below the mesonotum, higher 
in the middle than at the sides, obliquely sloped anteriorly. 
Median depression of the anterior margin of the mesonotuin 
almost obsolete; the apical angles clothed with whitish 
pubescence. Median segment longer than the basal breadth ; 
the dorsal surface finely granulate, with an almost obsolete 
median carina, and a few short transverse strie near the 
apical angles; abruptly truncate posteriorly, the surface of 
the truncation finely transversely striate, with a deep median 
sulcus. Pygidial area long and narrow, very narrowly 
truncate at the apex, shining, with large scattered punctures, 
almost entirely without pubescence. Comb of the fore tarsi 
short. Radial cell broadly truncate at the apex; the third 
abscissa of the radius at least half as long again as the
