to the hind border of the scutum, which is included: between the 
sutures of the parapsides; scutellum rhomboidal or nearly round, 
clothed with white hairs on each side and at the tip, along which is 
a rim prolonged into two short spines: metathorax transverse, very 
short: propodeon transverse, abruptly decumbent: podeon very 
short: abdomen oval, a little shorter than the thorax ; metapodeon 
smooth, shining, occupying nearly one half of the dorsum; octoon 
and the following segments dull, pubescent; octoon not half the 
length of the metapodeon ; ennaton much shorter than the octoon ; 
decaton shorter than the ennaton; protelum nearly as long as the 
decaton ; paratelum and telum short: legs yellow, in structure like 
the other species of the genus ; coxe black ; hind thighs black along 
two-thirds of their length from the base: wings limpid; nervures 
piceous ; humerus much less than one half the length of the wing; 
ulna more than half the length of the humerus ; radius a little longer 
than the ulna; cubitus very short; stigma furcate, very small. 
Found at Sierra Leone by the Rev. D. F. Morgan, and presented 
by him to the British Museum.

From Bombay. In the collection of the Rev. F. W. Hope. Perhaps 
the difference between Haltichella and Hockeria is too slight to ad- 
mit of their being divided. In addition to these two genera, the family 
Chalcide comprises the following: Smiera, Epitranus, Chalcitella, 
Conura, Chalcis, Chirocerus, Phasgonophora, Dirhinus, Notaspis and 
Agamerion.
