The male, or what is taken to be the male of this species, has 

 l7-]'ointed antennae, white legs, while the mesopleura, scutellura, 

 inetathorax, and base and apex of the abdomen are black or 

 fuscous ; the middle thoracic lobe has a central impressed line ; 

 while the wings are subhyaline with a yellowish spot across the 

 base of the stigma and the first submarginal cell.

 not interstitial with the transverse cubital nervure but joins the 

 cubitus some distance from its apex. Abdomen ovate, the length

Hob. St. Vincent. 



Described from a single specimen. On account of the non- 

 areolated metathorax this species does not agree with all the 

 generic characters laid down for Mhyssalus, agreeing in this 

 respect with the genus Golastes, Haliday ; but as all of the other 

 characters agree with RJiyssalus and not with Golastes, I have 

 placed it in the former genus.
