  Abdomen 
  

   subpetiolated, 
  without

  ; 
  all 
  the 
  sutures 
  after 
  

   the

  The 
  unique 
  insect 
  here 
  indicated 
  is 
  a 
  true 
  Opiid 
  from 
  

   the 
  structure 
  of 
  the 
  mouth, 
  though 
  otherwise 
  much 
  like 
  

   an 
  Alysia. 
  The 
  mandibles 
  fit 
  closely 
  at 
  the 
  points; 
  the 
  

   clypeus 
  does 
  not 
  touch 
  them 
  in 
  the 
  middle, 
  its 
  lower 
  

   edge 
  being 
  raised 
  so 
  as 
  to 
  leave 
  a 
  small 
  opening. 
  Head 
  

   subcubic, 
  buccate, 
  widest 
  behind, 
  and 
  broader 
  than 
  the 
  

   thorax 
  ; 
  occiput 
  concave, 
  not 
  margined 
  ; 
  face 
  sub- 
  

   carinated 
  ; 
  maxillary 
  palpi 
  remarkably 
  long, 
  reaching 
  

   to 
  the 
  hind 
  coxae. 
  Middle 
  lobe 
  of 
  the 
  mesothorax 
  trun- 
  

   cate 
  anteriorly 
  ; 
  mesothoracic 
  sutures 
  impunctate, 
  almost 
  

   effaced 
  posteriorly 
  ; 
  a 
  punctiform 
  fovea 
  before 
  the 
  

   scutellum. 
  Abdomen 
  as 
  long 
  as 
  the 
  head 
  and 
  thorax, 
  

   gradually 
  widened 
  to 
  the 
  truncated 
  anus, 
  and 
  depressed, 
  

   appearing 
  biarticulate 
  from 
  the 
  extreme 
  tenuity 
  of 
  the 
  

   sutures; 
  1st 
  segment 
  rimulose, 
  the 
  rest 
  smooth 
  and 
  

   shining. 
  The 
  2d 
  cubital 
  areolet 
  is 
  not 
  longer 
  than 
  that 
  

   of 
  Gnamjjtodon, 
  but 
  shorter, 
  transverse, 
  less 
  contracted 
  

   at 
  the 
  tip, 
  and 
  much 
  more 
  acutely 
  produced 
  inwards 
  ; 
  

   the 
  prsediscoidal 
  areolet 
  is 
  subsessile 
  ; 
  the 
  straight 
  radius 
  

   reaches 
  the 
  top 
  of 
  the 
  wing. 
  With 
  this 
  may 
  perhaps 
  be 
  

   compared 
  Forster's 
  undescribed 
  genus 
  Mesotages, 
  in
