Cameron, On three new species of Evaniidae. 661 



with white pubescence ; the rest of the median segment widely 

 reticulated. Pro-and mesopleurae with large, deep, round punctures ; 

 on the former the punctures are very sparse at the apex ; the 

 Upper half of the latter is almost entirely smooth. Hind tibiae 

 rather strongly , but not closely punctured ; the coxae are more 

 closely punctured ; the long spur of the hind tibiae is not much 

 more thun one third of the length of the metatarsus : it is as 

 long as the 2"^^ tarsal Joint. The pin goes through the centre 

 of the scutelluni in the only specimen in the collection ; the sides 

 are strongly , but not closely punctured — more closely and 

 strongly , than in E. appendigaster. The recurrent nervure is 

 roundly curved at the base ; the apex is in a straight line with 

 the transverse cubital. Tarsal spines pale ; those on the apices 

 of the joints are longer, stouter and fulvous coloured. Abdominal 

 petiole stout, not quite so long as the following 2 segments united. 

 The mesonotum is much more strongly punctured than in 

 the wide - ranging E. appendigaster, which has also the hinder 

 spurs shorter compared with the metatarsus ; the recurrent ner- 

 vure is not interstitial as it is in the present species. — E. nursei 

 Cam. has the temples shorter and more obliquely narrowed ; 

 the furrows on the front are obsolete ; the front itself being 

 closely punctured , the malar space is shorter , the calcaria ful- 

 vous, not black &c.

Black , the base and apex of the antennal Scape and the 

 2'^'^ Joint rufo-testaceous, the basal three fourths of the S""^ white; 

 all the trochanters , the anterior legs , and the niiddle tibiae 

 whitish testaceous , the fore femora darker coloured ; there is a 

 band of clear white near the base of the hind tibiae ; wings 

 hyaline, the nervures black ; there is a small, but distinct cloud, 

 widest in front, near the base of the stigma. Metasternal forks 

 hollowed in the centre, widely diverging, their apices rufo-testa- 

 ceous. Base of thorax almost transverse ; the centre of mesonotum, 

 widely irregularly, somewhat strongly reticulated ; the scutellum 

 strongly longitudinally striated , the Striae clearly separated ; 

 they are followed at the apex by a transverse keel , followed by 

 a stoutly striated narrow border. Metathorax coarsely reticulated ; 

 the reticulations on the apex of metanotum smaller and more or 

 less striated. 



Abdominal petiole smooth. 



?. Length 4 mm, Kuching. Borneo (John Hewitt). 



Antennae stout, distinctly thickened towards the apex; the 

 scape somewhat slender , longer than the following two joints
