Chiloneueus, Westwood. 



Chilonetjeus eunictji/US, sp. n. 



$ . Length 1-7 mm. ; expanse 3'2 mm. An interesting form 

 which seems intermediate between Corny sSiX\6. Ghiloneurus, and for 

 which the generic characters of Chiloneurus must be extended 

 to include forms in which the first funiele-joint is longer than 

 pedicel. Scape long, slender ; pedicel short, triangular ; funiele- 

 joint 1 twice as long as pedicel and nearly three times as long 

 as thick; joints 3, 4, 5, and 6 each rapidly broadening and 

 becoming shorter, 5 wider than long ; club (broken ofi" in type- 

 specimen). Eyes moderately approximate ; ocelli at angles of 

 a slightly acute-angled triangle. Head closely and finely 

 shagreened ; mesoscutum with closely appressed silvery hairs ; 

 axillae meeting at tips ; mesoscutellum very finely punctate,- 

 opaque ; mesoscutellar tuft strong and black ; metanotum shining, 

 metallic, fimbria strong ; mesopleura faintly shagreened. Mar- 

 ginal vein somewhat longer than stigmal ; stigmal and post- 

 marginal very short, separated by a very narrow, angle and of 

 nearly equal length ; stigmal, if anything, slightly longer : below 

 submarginal is a hyaline transverse band, rest of the wing 

 fuscous, lighter at extreme tip ; on fuscous portion discal cilia 

 very dense, with a slight oblique hairless band below marginal 

 vem, extending proximally to hyaline band ; cilia costad of 

 this streak stronger than elsewhere on disc. Colour variegated : 

 scape, antennae, front coxae, tibiae and femora, middle femora and 

 hind coxae honey-yellow ; flagellum of antennae black ; head and 

 face brownish, with faint metallic reflections ; mesoscutum black, 

 colour obscured by the silvery pubescence ; axillae light brown ; 

 scutellum with its anterior half dull light yellow, posterior half 

 brown ; metanotum metallic green ; mesopleura brown, with 

 metallic greenish and purplish reflections ; abdomen brown, with 

 brilliant metallic green spot above at base; middle coxae and 

 tibiae and hind femora and tibiae nearly black ; front and hind 

 tarsi brown, middle tarsi honey-yellow ; front tibiae on upper side 

 with a narrow metallic longitudinal stripe.
