than broad, finely transversely striated, with a shallow median 

 sulcus not reaching the apex, not truncate or steeply sloped 

 posteriorly. Abdomen with a very short petiole, the segments 

 except the first covered with short, very pale, golden pile. Hind 

 tibia? feebly spinecl ; tarsal ungues toothed. (Second abscissa of 

 the radius a little longer than the third, recurrent nervures 

 received just before the middle of the second and third cubital 

 cells ; submeclian cell longer than median ; cubitus of hind wing 

 originating just beyond the transverse median nervure. 



Black ; the fifth joint of the flagellum beneath, the apex of the 

 fourth and base of the fifth creamy white. Wings hyaline, a 

 fuscous band crossing the wing at the basal nervure, another, 

 much broader, from the base of the radial cell. 



Length 11 mm.

2 • Clypeus about twice as broad as long, broadly rounded at 

 the apex. Eyes touching the base of the mandibles, the inner 

 margins nearly parallel ; posterior ocelli about half as far again 

 from the eyes as from each other. Antennae slender, the second 

 joint of the flagellum about one-fifth longer than the third. Pro- 

 notum depressed anteriorly and strongly rounded at the angles, 

 the posterior margin feebly arched. Median segment slender, 

 longer than broad, gently sloped posteriorly, indistinctly trans- 

 versely striated, Avith an obscure median sulcus at the base. 

 Abdomen petiolate, fusiform, the petiole occupying one-third of 

 the length of the basal segment. Legs slender, posterior 

 tibia? smooth. Second abscissa of the radius as long as the third, 

 second cubital cell nearly as long on the cubitus as the third ; first 

 recurrent nervure received well before the middle of the second 

 cubital cell, second at one-third from the base of the third cubital 

 cell ; submeclian cell longer than the median ; cubitus of hind wing 

 originating a little beyond the transverse median nervure. 



Opaque black ; tegulae fuscous. "Wings hyaline, a broad fuscous 

 band crossing the wing at the basal nervure, another very broad 

 from the radial cell, leaving a small hyaline patch at the apex. 



Length 8 mm.

Very near numeria Sm. from Mysole, but in this species the 

 median segment is longer, and numeria has the third cubital cell 

 much shorter than the second on the radial nervure especially, the 

 recurrent nervures are also both received nearer the middle of 

 the cells. From Camilla this species may be easily distinguished 

 by the form of the clypeus. 



PSEUDAGENIA DISPERSA, Sp. n, 



2 . Anterior margin of the clypeus very slightly arched ; head 

 wider than the thorax ; posterior ocelli about half as far again 

 from the eyes as from each other ; eyes separated on the vertex
