long as the liiiid femora ; hind metatarsus not quite as h)ng 

 as the four follo\\iu<j; joints combined. First and second 

 abseissce of the radius about equal, second cubital cell luUy 

 twice as long on the cubitus as on the radius, the latter 

 originating nearer to the apex of the stigma than to the 

 base. Recurrent ncrvure received distinctly before the first 

 transverse cubital nervure ; ncrvulus interstitial ; first dis- 

 coidal cell sessile; anal cell with two transverse nervures.

This species undoubtedly belongs to Szepligeti's genus 

 Fseudu/ielcon, though the legs are somewhat less elongate 

 than iiidicatctl in the description of the genus, with diHerent 

 proportion of the joints; the eyes are not small, and the 

 position of the recurrent nervure is different.

 apice, tarsorumque articulo apicali nigris ; alia hyalinis, veuis

Long. lU mm. 



d . Head margined posteriorly, not narrowed behind the 

 eyes ; vertex shining, finely and rather sparsely punctured ; 

 face opaque, finely rugose ; clypeus shining, i)unctured, very 

 broadly rounded at the apex, almost transverse. No frontal 

 excavation. Anteunie very long, measuring 11 mm., 46- 

 jointed. Cheeks about as long as the scape. Mesonotum 

 and scutellum finely punctured, uotauli well develojjed. 

 Median segment rugose, the extreme base smooth, with a 

 low, longitudinal, median carina; the segment margined 

 posteriorly, with an ill-defined area on each side at the apex. 

 Abdomen slender, smooth, and shining, the junction of the 

 abdomen with the median segment situated just above the 

 hind coxae. Calcar of the hind tibiae short, hind coxae very 

 closely punctured, hind metatarsus as long as the four 

 following joints combined. Radius not quite reaching the 

 apex of the wing, originating nearer to the apex of the stigma 

 than to the base ; first abscissa of the radius fully half as 

 long as the second, first discoidal cell sessile, ncrvulus post- 

 furcal, but not strongly so, anal cell with one transverse 

 nervure ; second cubital cell distinctly longer on the cubitus 

 than on the radius, the second transverse cubital ncrvure 

 forming a right angle with the cubitus.
