Pison {I'arapison) sitnulans, sp. n. 



J. Black, opaniio ; tho til)i;e ami tarsi fenugiiious ; tlio 

 liiiid tarsi stiiineu with black. Wings hyaline ; nervures 

 fuscous. 



Clypeus produced into a short tooth in tho middle of tlio 

 apical margin ; ocelli in an cqiiihitcral trianglo, the posterior 

 pair as far from each other as fn)ni tho eyes ; second joint 

 of the ilagellnni no lon<^cr than tho third. Pronotuni on a 

 level with the mesonotum, with a distinct dorsal surface. 

 Median so;;inent as lon<ij as the mesonotum, narrowed towards 

 the apt'x, as long as hroal, finely oblirpiely striated, with a 

 deej) median groove in which is a well-difined carina, the 

 surface of the posterior slope almost smooth, with a deep 

 median groove. Abdomen subopjique, minutely and closely 

 punctured, the first segment lotiger than its apical breadth; 

 the second segment distinctly constricted at the base. Two 

 cubital cells only, the first abscissa of the radius twice as 

 long as the second, first recurrent nervnre receivol just 

 beyond three-fifths from the base of the first cubital cell, 

 second close to the base of the second cubital cell. 



Length G"5 mm. 



Hub. Eaglehawk Neck ; March. 



Nearest to Pison (Parapinou) erythrocerum^ Kold, but 

 differs in the stronger sculpture of the median segment, in 

 the colour of the femora and antenna), and in the much 

 greater lenglh of the second abscissa of the radius. Super- 

 ficially it closely resembles P. nifipes, Siiuck.
