curved outwardly, making the areas wider at the apex than at the base ; 

 outside them is a large semicircular area, its base as wide as the base of the 

 inner two united ; it is bordered by a narrower oblique area, which is nar- 

 rowed towards the apex and bears the oval spiracles at the base. Upper 

 part of the propleurae punctured like the pronotum, the lower part finely 

 irregularly striated. Mesopleura3 strongly closely, but not umbilically punc- 

 tured, the upper part with a smooth, shining area, narrowed near the centre, 

 the base more sharply pointed than the apex; the mesosternum strongly 

 rugosely punctured, bordered laterally by a crenulated furrow. Basal slope 

 of 1st abdominal segment smooth, its apex and 2nd segment finely and closely 

 punctured ; the others much more strongly punctured ; the ventral surface 

 is not so strongly, nor so closely punctured as them. The sedigus has two 

 long lateral processes, dilated at the apex. Male. Length, 7 mm. 



Except on the face the pubescence is sparse. There is a distinct, nar- 

 rowed rounded projection on the lower part of the apex of scutellum ; it is 

 hollowed above and with a narrow furrow in the centre, and purple violaceous 

 in colour.

Antennas placed close to the mouth, the scape long, reaching to the ocelli ; 

 13-jointed, the ap : cal 3 joints forming almost a club. Eyes large, converging 

 above. Ocelli in a large triangle, the hinder close to the eyes. Occiput 

 transverse, the temples, short. Malar space two-thirds of the length of the 

 eyes. Pronotum large, narrowed towards the base, the middle as long as the 

 mesonotum, which is slightly wider than long ; a narrow transverse line at its 

 base. Scutellum large, triangular, a curved furrow at its base, separating 

 the base from the main part. Abdomen as wide, but shorter than the thorax, 

 sessile. Four anterior legs normal ; the hinder very long, longer than the body, 

 the t : biae longer than the basal 3 joints un'ted, compressed laterally, and 

 widened, the base narrowed, the top broadly rounded, slightly narrowed 

 towards the apex ; on the outer side they are hollowed, the hind spurs are 

 short, thick, the middle long almost as long as metatarsus ; the metatarsus 

 is not quite so long as the other joints united. Submarginal nervure long, 

 the marginal short and thickened forming a stigma, the post-marginal long, 

 becoming narrowed towards the apex, it is indistinctly defined compared 

 with the other nervures ; the stigmal branch is straight, oblique, of equal 

 width throughout ; there is a large cloud in the middle of the fore-wings. 



The rnesopleurse are bordered below by a broadly rounded furrow which 

 extends from the base to the apex ; the mesosternum has a wider furrow down 

 the middle. The abdominal segments are transverse ; the hypopygium 

 longish, cultrifoim. The middle coxae are not swollen or enlarged ; the 

 anterior are larger and longer the single spur on the middle tibiae is about 

 three-fourths of the length of metatarsus. I can only, for the present, 

 refer this genus to the Cleonymidce, but not to any of the tribes included in 

 that group. It may be referred to a new sub-family in it. The discovery 

 of the male may throw some light on its systematic position. The peculiar
