short longitudinal sulcus before tlie narrowly rounded apex. 

 "J'lie wings when folded only reach to the apex of the second 

 abdominal segment and the stigma is situated halfway 

 between tiie base and the apex. 



Head and thorax ferruginous red ; the antennae, pro- 

 sternum, and anterior legs fusco-ferruginous ; median segment, 

 mesopleurse, mesosternum, third, fourth, and fifth dorsal 

 segments of the abdomen, and the intermediate and posterior 

 legs black ; the two apical joints of the tarsi and the base of 

 the second and third joints testaceous ; the first and second 

 abdominal segments bright ferruginous, the ventral segments 

 darker, the sixth dorsal segment black at the base, dark 

 ferruginous at the apex ; a spot on each side of segments 

 2-5 yellowish white. Wings pale fusco-hyaline; nervures 

 fuscous. 



Length 9 mm.

Type in B. M. 



The wings are rather longer than in Pseudomeria grceca 

 and the stigma further from the base, owing to the greater 

 length of the basal cells. The pronotum is also longer than 

 in P. grceca. The wings are less deeply bilobed, so that 

 the species shows a transition between Pseudomeria and 

 llemimeria. 



Myzine {llemimeria) sublevis, sp. n. 



? . Mandibles acute at the apex, with a groove on the 

 inner margin not reaching the apex, the outer margin with a 

 fringe of fulvous hairs. Clypeus transverse ; the head 

 smooth and shining, the front round the base of the antennaj 

 strongly punctured and sparsely clothed with long fulvous 

 hairs, three large setigerous punctures close to the summit of 

 each eye. Posterior ocelli a little further from each other 

 than from the eyes or from the posterior margin of the head. 

 Pronotum narrower than the head, broadened posteriorly, 

 sparsely punctured anteriorly, with a long grey hair springing 

 from each puncture, the posterior margin smooth. Meso- 

 notum, scutellum, and median segment smooth and shining; 

 a transverse row of large setigerous punctures at the base of 

 the scutellum ; the pleurae ratiier finely punctured, with long 

 and thin cinereous pubescence on the mesopleurae. Median 

 segment with very short, fine, oblique strige along the lateral 

 margins, obliquely sloped posteriorly, the sides of the segment 

 at tlie base concave, smooth, and shining. Abdomen 

 shining : the segments with a feeble but broadly arched
