Anectoclis sp. 



2 ' Length 2^ millim. Polished black ; mandibles black ; 

 antennae piceous ; legs reddish yellow. Antennse 13-jointed, 

 submoniliform, gradually incrassated toward tips, the first fla- 

 gellar joint scarcely longer than the second. Transverse ridge 

 of collar deeply emarginated at the middle. Scutellum rugose 

 at sides, the cup elliptic, its margins pale, the dorsum with a 

 fovea posteriorly and several punctures anteriorly. Metathorax 

 short, pubescent, the metapleura with a pubescent ridge pos- 

 teriorly. Wings hyaline, pubescent, the venation yellow ; the 

 marginal cell is about twice as long as wide, entirely oj)en along 

 its outer margin, the second abscissa of radius very slightly 

 curved and almost twice as long as the first, which is straight. 

 Abdomen as long as the head and thorax together, polished

Described from a single specimen. 



Hexaplasta, Forster. 



The genera Sexacola and Sexaplasta, Eorster, are very similar, 

 and are separated upon very slight characters ; it is often a matter 

 of guesswork to place the species, the slight diff'erence in the cup 

 of the scutellum, used by Fdrster, being probably not sufficient 

 to separate them. Of the former he says : — " Schildchen an der 

 Spitze zugerundet, scharf gestreift, der Napf nicht gross, elliptisch, 

 mit einem Grriibchen am Hinterrande ; " of the latter: — "Schild- 

 chen kaum gestreift, Napf gross, flach, glatt und glauzend, 

 hinter mit einem runden Grriibchen; " so that virtually the only 

 diflference is in the size of the cup. 



The following species, in having the cup large, agrees with 

 this definition, and is described under this genus.
