328 MR. R. E. TURNER OX THE [Feb. 15, 



cubitus of the hind wing interstitial with the transverse median 

 nervure. 



Black, covered with whitish-grey pile ; a transverse line on the 

 vertex, the front of the mesonotum, the apical abdominal segment, 

 and the extreme apex of the clypeus bare. Wings subhyaline, 

 with a rather broad fuscous band on the outer margin. 



Length 17 mm.

Allied to A. atavus, but differs in the shape of the cubital cells, 

 the colour of the wings, and the much greater extent of the pile.

Anoplius dobdi, sp. n. 



2 . Clypeus about twice as broad as long, rounded at the sides, 

 almost transverse at the apex. Eyes almost touching the base of 

 the mandibles, their inner margins converging towards the vertex, 

 where they are separated by a distance equal to three-fourths of 

 the length of the second joint of the flagellum ; posterior ocelli a 

 little nearer to the eyes than to each other. Front not produced 

 into tubercles at the base of the antennas ; second joint of the 

 flagellum long, more than half as long again as the third joint. 

 Pronotum short, narrower than the head, the posterior margin 

 strongly arched, with a slight angle at the apex of the arch. 

 Median segment short, twice as broad as long, with a faint 

 median sulcus, abruptly truncate posteriorly. Second ventral 

 segment of the abdomen without a transverse groove. Tarsal 

 ungues bifid ; posterior tibia? spined, cylindrical ; anterior tarsi with 

 a long comb. Third abscissa of the radius very short, no longer 

 than the first ; third cubital cell as long as the second on the 

 cubitus, receiving the second recurrent nervure at two-thirds from 

 the base ; first recurrent nervure received at two-thirds from the 

 base of the second cubital cell ; transverse median nervure inter- 

 stitial with the basal nervure; cubitus of the hind wing interstitial 

 with the transverse median nervure. 



Opaque black, with silvery grey pubescence on the clypeus, face, 

 cheeks, continued along the posterior margin of the head, posterior- 

 margin of the pronotum, coxa?, pleura?, posterior margin of the 

 mesonotum, scutellum, anterior and posterior angles of the median 

 segment, and base of the first abdominal segment ; a band of grey 

 pile narrowly interrupted in the middle at the base of abdominal 

 segments 2-5. Wings hyaline, broadly fuscous along the basal 

 nervure ; another fuscous band beyond the radial cell, very broad 

 but not quite touching the apex and continued on the hind wing ; 

 a fuscous patch occupying the radial and third cubital cells and 

 extending into the second cubital and discoidal cells. 



Length 9 mm,
