Lissonota Schmiedeknechti n. sp. 



$. Head obviously constricted behind the prominent eyes, 

 anteriorly triangulär ; frons distinctly longitudinally impressed 

 above the scrobes ; cheeks somewhat narrow, below the eyes longer 

 than the width of the base of the mandibles ; head evenly and 

 closely punctate throughout and somewhat shining. Antennaes lender 

 and filiform, hardly attenuate apically, nearly as long as the body. 



Thorax subcylindrical, evenly and closely punctate throughout, 

 somewhat shining ; with the notauli hardly indicated. In fore- 

 wing radius straight ; areola subirrigular and shortly petiolate, 

 emitting the recurrent nervure nearly from its centre. Nervellus 

 broken at its lower fourth. 



Abdomen parallelsided, slightly longer but decidedly narrower 

 and more shining than head and thorax ; abdomen finely alutaceous, 

 the first three segments bearing scattered punctures, all segments 

 nitidulous at their apex ; basal segment nearly twice longer than 

 broad apically, subcanaliculate to far beyond its centre; segments 

 two and three longer than broad, four quadrate ; hypopygium rea- 

 ching anus. 



Legs neither elongate nor slender ; tarsal claws not large, 

 double length of pulvilli. 



Length : body 9 mm , terebra, viewed from above, 8 mm. 



Head black ; with the clypeus, excepting its base, as well as 

 mandibles and palpi brownish. Antennae black. Thorax immaculate 

 black. Tegulae, stigma and nervures dark brown ; radix of wings 

 pale. Abdomen red, with base and apex, as well as second and 

 third segments laterally, blackish ; plica ventralis pale. Legs 

 black, anterior ones with femora, tibiae and tarsi somewhat reddish. 



Allied to Lissonota cylindrator and and puberula. From the former 

 it differs in the conformation of the head, the more shining ab- 

 domen and the colouration of the legs ; the latter species is 

 unknown to nie.
