sparsely punct'irecl, mesoplenrfe very coarsely puncturecl. 

 Median segment broader than long, steeply sloped posteriorly 

 but not abruptly truncate, finely rugose in the middle, with a 

 short, double, longitudinal carina from the base, the sides 

 obscurely obliquely striated ; the metapleurte shining, with 

 obscure oblique stripe. Abdomen shining, finely and not very 

 closely punctured, the apical segment long and large and 

 almost entirely smooth, the petiole of tlie basal segment as 

 broad as long. The stigma is a little nearer to the base than 

 to the apex of the wing, the second cubital cell is very small, 

 the height being very much less than the length of the 

 petiole, it is very much contracted, the height being equal 

 to twice the length of the cubital nervure; the first recurrent 

 nervure is received beyond the middle, the second recuri-ent 

 nervure is slightly curved outwardly in the middle. 



Black ; the antennae, mandibles, and intermediate tibiae 

 and tarsi dark fusco-ferruginous ; the anterior tibiae and tarsi 

 I'usco-ferruginous ; the spines of the tibiai white, those of the 

 tarsi fulvous ; the two apical segments of the abdomen 

 ferruginous red ; a large creamy-white spot on each side near 

 the apical angles of the second and third segments. Wings 

 fusco-hyaline, nervures fuscous, the stigma black. 



Length 10, exp. 14 mm.

This is a true Myzine, and is the most eastern record for 

 the genus. 



Plesia (Mesa) disjuncta, sp. n. 



c?. Clypeus rather large, broadly rounded at the apex, 

 ■with a median carina from the base almost reaching the apex, 

 opaque and minutely punctured, densely clothed with rather 

 long silver-white pubescence. Front rugose, strongly pro- 

 duced between the antennge and truncate at the apex, the 

 vertex rather coarsely punctured. Antennae inserted much 

 further from each other than from the eyes, the scape about 

 equal in length to the second joint of the flagellum, closely 

 and finely punctured and subglobular, the first joint of the 

 Hagellum very siiort and almost concealed in the apex of the 

 scape, the third more than half as long again as the second. 

 Pronotum finely and not very closely punctured, very broadly 

 emarginate anteriorly, the lateral angles very strongly pro- 

 duced ; mesonotum and scutellum rather sparsely punctured, 

 the mesonotum with a strong oblique depression on each side, 

 meeting on the posterior margin, and a faint longitudinal 

 sulca above the tegulee ; propleuraj finely and closely punc- 

 tured, mesopleurjB coarsely rugose. Median segment rugose ;
