combined as long as the third ; first transverse cubital nervure 

 oblique, strongly bent near the cubitus, longer than the second ; 

 first recurrent nervure received at the middle of the second 

 cubital cell, second at one-third from the apex of the third cubital 

 cell ; the distance between the cubitus of the hind wing and the 

 transverse median nervure equal to less than half the length of 

 that nervnre. 



Black ; base of the mandibles, a small spot round the base of 

 each antenna, the hind margin of the pronotum very narrowly, 

 tegulse, anterior tibire in front, and the base of the hind tibite pale 

 yellow ; apex of the mandibles and fore tarsi fuseo-ferruginous. 

 "VVings hyaline, nervures dark fuscous.

c5 . Differs from A. frenchi in the yellow clypeus, yellow spot 

 on the mesonotum, postscutellum, apex of median segment, and 

 on each side of the seventh dorsal segment ; in the rounded lobe 

 at the apex of the hind femora beneath, which is well developed 

 in lagardei, and in the yellow basal joints of the tarsi.

S. Clypeus very feebly emarginate at the apex; the apical 

 joint of the maxillary palpi filiform, longer than the penultimate 

 joint, the three apical joints much more slender than the basal 

 ones. Pronotum short, very slightly narrowed anteriorly. First 

 dorsal segment a little longer than the apical breadth ; seventh 

 dorsal segment narrowly truncate at the apex. Hind tibise feebly 

 spinose ; the lobe at the apex of the hind femora beneath not 

 distinct. Second abscissa of the radius nearly twice as long 

 as the first, the two combined longer than the third. First 

 transverse cubital nervure curved, much longer than the second, 

 and rather sharply bent near the cubitus ; recurrent nervures 

 received a little before the middle of the second and third cubital 

 cells. Cubitus of the hind wing originating before the transverse 

 median nervure, the distance between it and that nervure equal 

 to about one-third of the length of the transverse median 

 nervure. 



Black ; posterior margin of the pronotum very narrowly, a 

 transverse line on the postscutellum, a spot on each side of the 

 seventh dorsal segment, and the base of the hind tibiee whitish
