femora at the apex, and the whole of the hind femora ferruginous.

2 . Radial cell slightly angular at the apex ; third abscissa of 

 the radius the longest, but shorter than the first and second 

 combined, the first * scarcely as long as the second. First x-e- 

 current nervure received near the middle of the second ciibital 

 cell, second just beyond one-quarter from the base of the third 

 cubital cell. Second cubital cell less strongly produced towards 

 the base than in Jlavicornis. Basal joint of hind tarsi with a 

 scopa beneath, in which are a few longer spines ; basal joint of 

 fore tarsi with six or seven well-developed spines below and the 

 usual six above ; basal lobe of tarsal ungues rounded ; lobe 

 beneath the apical half of the hind femora broadly rounded and 

 less strongly developed than in ffavicornis. Deeply and rather 

 closely punctured, the abdomen more shallowly punctured. 



Black; the pubescence on the head and sides of the thorax 

 white, on the abdomen and dorsal surface of the thorax black ; 

 calcaria black ; four basal dorsal segments of a,bdomen and 

 ventral segments 2-4 with apical cilipe of scale-like white hairs. 

 Wings fuscous, with faint violet reflections. 



Length 14 mm.

2 . Radial cell Avith a slight angle at the apex ; second abscissa 

 of the radius longer than the first, the third equal to the first 

 and second combined, the third cubital cell a little longer on the 

 cubitus than on the radius. First recurrent nervure i-eceived 

 just beyond the middle of the second cubital cell, second at one- 

 third from the base of the third cubital cell ; the second cubital 

 cell moderately produced towards the base on the cubitus. Basal 

 joint of hind tarsi with a close row of small spines beneath ; basal 

 joint of fore tarsi with seven spines above, and a close-set row of 

 slender spines beneath ; basal lobe of tarsal ungues bluntly 

 rounded; lobe beneath the basal half of the posterior femora 

 broadly rounded. Shining, finely and very sparsely punctured ; 

 the median segment subopaque and very finely and closely 

 punctured on the sides ; abdomen shallowly but much more 

 coarsely punctui-ed.
