short, tlic iccunciit ncrvnre widely distant from it, the cubitus 

 between it and tlie transverse cubitus sharply obliquely 

 sloped. Antennas 30-jointed, basal three joints of flagellum 

 greatly elongated, the basal two of equal length. Transverse 

 median nervure in hind wings broken below the middle. 

 IJind ocelli separated from the eyes by a greater distance 

 than tin y are from each other. Eyes very large, the temples 

 very short, the occiput roundly deeply incised. Metanotum 

 with three central areae, the petiolar a longisli triangle, the 

 areola longisli, G-angled, obliquely narrowed at the base, the 

 apex transverse ; the apical area occupying the apical slope ; 

 there are two large lateral basal areae ; spiracles small, not 

 much longer than wide, broadly rounded before and behind. 

 First abdominal segment large, longer than it is wide at the 

 base ; the first, second, third, and base of fourth segments 

 closely, regularly, longitudinally striated. 



The antennas are as long as tiie body, slender, ringed with 

 white ; the wings are spotted. Parapsidal furrows distinct, 

 complete, the metathorax densely covered with long pubes- 

 cence. Radial cellule wide near the middle ; radius is.^uing 

 from middle of stigma, its first abscissa shorter than second. 

 Eyes higher than the vertex. 



This genus cannot be confounded with any of the known 

 genera of Hemitcllinse wanting the areolet. The first abdo- 

 minal segment is shorter and wider than usual ; noteworthy 

 are the striated basal abdominal segments. 



Aphadnus rufipes, sp. n. 



Black ; tegulae, a broad band on the apex of the first 

 abdominal segment, a stripe in the centre of the apex of the 

 second, apical half of fourth, an obscure broken narrow line 

 on fifth, and a narrow complete one on sixth, whitish yellow. 

 Legs bright red, the four anterior coxce, the base of hind tibiio 

 beiiind, and the hind spurs white ; the rest of the hind tibial 

 and the tarsi black. Wings hyaline, a cloud (rounded and 

 narrowed in front) before the apex of transverse basal and trans- 

 verse median nervure, extending slightly beyond the latter, a 

 large one extending from the base to near the apex of radial 

 cellule, its lower half projecting backwards along the disco- 

 cubital nervure, and one in the aj)ical fourth of hind wings 

 almost black; the nervurcs and stigiua black. Head opaque 

 closely ])unctured, densely covered with white puboseenee, 

 as :ae also the pleural and metanotum. Face and eiypeus 

 dilated in the centre. Middle lobe of mcsonotum somewhat
