joint is strongly pilose, the eyes are very prominent and 

 sliortly petiolate, the hind angles of the pronotum are acutely 

 lobcd (as in the genera FeltasticuSj Dall., Aleria, Stal, and 

 Paraleria^ Rent.). These characters, together Avith the un- 

 spotted connexivum, give this genus quite a different facies. 

 The genus Memmia is more nearly allied to Atelocera than to 

 MacrojjeJta : in all three genera the females have two large 

 sericeous patches on the venter.

 Memmia Coicani, Dist. Ent. Month. iNIag. xix. 108 (1882). 



I have received this insect from Antananarivo (Mada- 

 gascar) . 



8. Nealeria asopoideSj Stal. 



On examining an example of this species agreeing to some 

 extent with Stal's description I find that the tarsi in this geims 

 are biarticulated as in Parcderia. I propose to call Stal's 

 genus Nealeria, as the name Aleria is preoccupied by Marshall 

 for a genus of Hymenoptera.
