tlie spiracular area;. The nicsopleuial tutu rcles are elongate

 beyond the middle in the feniaU', in the mah' they are hnij^er 

 and senate. The hinder t'eniDia reach to the nii(hUe of the

 liquely depressed as in typieal Joppina; the nietathoracicaret«, 

 too, are moie regularly defined than they are in that groiij). 



J\Ia(/rcttni crassispma, sp. n, 



Nigra, tlioruce albo-maculato ; niesonoto reticulato ; Bcutello cari- 

 iiato ; basi petioli alba ; pcdibus rutis ; coxis posticis, apico 

 fenionmi l)asi(|ue tibiarum nigris ; tarsis posticis albis. $. 



Long. l;i-14 nnn. 



Antenna' stout, lonuish, dilated (but not eonspicuously so) 

 beyond the middle and hei'ore the apex, black, the eighth to 

 twentieth joints whitish, tiie eighth to i'ourteenth entirely so; 

 the scape on the underside thickly covered with white ))ubes- 

 cence. Head large, largely developed behind the eyes, 

 black ; the face and clypeus, the iiuier orbits narrowly, and 

 the outer broadly below, yidlowish white, the face black in 

 llie middle, the mark rounded at the top and of nearly equal 

 uidth, jiunclured, but not strongly, except on the black spot; 

 the labrum black, slightly dilated in the middle at the apex. 

 AJandibles yellow, the teeth black, rufous at the base; the 

 ])alpi long, yellow. Thorax black, a broad line on the ])ro- 

 notum extending IVonj near the base to the apex, the base of 

 the teguUo, a mark, longer than broad, on the lateral lobe of 

 the mesonotum, opposite the apex and shortly behind tiiem, 

 the ecutellum behind and broadly in the middle at the base, 

 the ])Ostscute]luni, two large marks on tlie apex of the median 

 segment, dilated inwardly on the upperside, narrowed towards 

 the apex, the lower two thirds of the propleurai at the base, 

 the tubercles, the lower side of the mesopleura; broadly, the 

 edge of the mesopleura^, above (narrowed below), yellow. 

 The mesonotum wants the ])arapsidal furrows, coarsely longi- 

 tudinally reticulated, the base and sides almost smooth, the 

 sides on the yellow })art near the tegulai raised. The scutel- 

 lum is stoutly obliquely keeled to near the apex on the sides; 

 the basal depression is narrow, deep, slightly curved ; on the 

 sides near the base are two stout transverse keels; the base 

 depressed ; the centre with some large deep punctures; at its 

 apex, between it and the postscutellum, is a stout short pro- 

 jection, roundly narrowed in the middle. Postscutellum 

 large, smooth, foveate in the n)iddle, the sides de|)ressed, the 

 V. hole base being obliquely depressed. At the base of the 

 median segment, touching the postscutellum, is a large area
