316 MR. 11. E. TURNER OX THE [Feb. 15, 



as long again as the third. Pronotum depressed, narrowed and 

 rounded anteriorly, the posterior margin arched. Median segment 

 convex, about as long as broad, coarsely transversely striated, with 

 a broad, shallow, median sulcus. Abdomen with a short petiole ; 

 the petiole distinctly longer than in fasciata Fabr., occupying 

 about one-third of the length of the first segment ; apical segment 

 with a flat, oval, pygidial area, shining and sparsely punctured. 

 Third abscissa of the radius about one-third longer than the 

 second, first recurrent nervure received before the middle of the 

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

 cubital cell ; cubitus of the hind wing originating just beyond the 

 transverse median nervure. Posterior tibia? with very small 

 spines ; tarsal ungues with one tooth near the middle. 



Black ; pruinose ; seven basal joints of the antenna? and the 

 eighth and ninth beneath orange. Wings fusco-hyaline, with the 

 usual two darker transverse bands, one narrow on the basal 

 nervure, the other broad and not quite crossing the wing from 

 the radial cell. 



S • As in the female, but the antenna? are very long and 

 slender, as long as the thorax and abdomen combined, the clypeus 

 less than twice as long as broad, median segment half as long 

 again as broad, less convex and more finely striated ; petiole long ; 

 the first abdominal segment only very slightly widened at the 

 apex, much longer and narrower than in fasciata J . Base of 

 the mandibles, sides of the clypeus, and inner orbits of the eyes 

 as high as the base of the antenna?, pale yellow. 



Length § 14 mm., <$ 12 mm. 



Hob. Mackay and Cairns, Q. (Turner). 



Very near fasciata Fabr., but in that species the wings are 

 hyaline with fuscous bands, the petiole shorter, the second joint 

 of the flagellum shorter in proportion to the third, the clypeus 

 rounded at the apex, and the three apical joints of the flagellum 

 only black. The first recurrent nervure in fasciata is received 

 beyond the middle of the second cubital cell, the second only just 

 before the middle of the third. 



PSEUDAGENIA PROVIDA, sp. 11. 



5 . Black ; the clypeus and front as high as the base of the 

 antenna? with short silvery pubescence slightly tinted with yellow ; 

 seven basal joints of the antenna? bright orange-yellow. Wings 

 fuscous, hyaline tinted with fuscous from near the base of the 

 third cubital cell. 



Very near P . flavicomis Sm. Second joint of flagellum half as 

 long again as third, in flavicornis the third joint is a little shorter ; 

 clypeus very broadly rounded at the apex : head broad. Pronotum 

 more than half as long as the mesonotum, the posterior margin 

 very feebly arched ; median segment transversely striated, with a 

 shallow median sulcus, about twice as broad as long. Abdomen 

 subpetiolate. Third abscissa of the radius more than half as long 

 again as the second, first recurrent nervure received beyond two-
