Greenwich Park,* 29 December, 1912 {Bodkin), 

 Closely allied to the last, but easily distinguished by the 

 area of metathorax. In both, the ])ronotum is without 

 distinct anterior angles. There is much resemblance to 

 A. I(Eta, Smith, from Ega, but the colour of the legs is 

 different.

Clialepogenus testaceus (Smith). 



1 S^ Tssororo, N.W.D., Dec. 1918 [Bodkin). 



Smith described the female as Tetrapedia testacca. 

 Friese saw the male from Bogota. The present specimen 

 has the scutelluni and axillaj pale honey-colour, contrasting 

 with the dark red mesothorax (on which are two yellow 

 stripes), the sides of face and some distance up front 

 cream-colour, the middle basitarsi blackened on inner side. 

 Possibly a distinct race is indicated, but it is necessary to see 

 the other sex. 



Chalepofjenus jlavus [Exoniulopsis flavus, Smith) is closely 

 allied.
