 pubescent, very slightly and almost imperceptibly shortening, the 

 second being nearly three times as long as thick, the last about 

 twice as long as thick.

 Wings hyaline, the veins brownish yellow, the marginal cell 

 closed, the second abscissa of radius about li times as long as the 

 first, curved outwardly, the first branch straight. Abdomen not 

 longer than the thorax, black polished, with an elevated, slightly

This species is allied to C. rohnsta, Ashm., described from 

 St. Vincent, but it is at once separated from it by the differences 

 noticed in the antennae, by the colour of the legs, and by the
