Manchester Memoirs, Vol. xliii. (1899), No. 3. 203 



metapleurae shagreened ; over the hinder coxse is a curved 

 keel ; the spiracles are linear, oblique, narrow, rounded at 

 the base and apex. The mesopleurae furrowed down the 

 middle ; the furrow stoutly crenulated, broadly black, 

 on either side. Legs longish; the four anterior rufo- 

 testaceous, their coxse broadly black at the base in front ; 

 the terminal joint of their tarsi black; the hinder coxse, 

 trochanters, and base of the femora rufous, the rest of the 

 femora black ; the apical third of the tibiae and the hinder 

 tarsi, except the apical joint which is black, yellowish 

 white; the tibiae thickly covered with short, stiff hair; the 

 hinder calcaria reach shortly beyond the middle of the 

 metatarsus, which is spinose; the fourth joint is half the 

 size of the third; the claws curved, simple. Petiole 

 narrowed at the base, the apex dilated and curved ; keeled 

 down the sides and down the middle of the dilated part. 

 Gastrocceli obsolete. The basal three segments large, of 

 nearly uniform length; the others much shorter, and 

 becoming gradually shorter. The base of the petiole is 

 smooth, the apex closely punctured ; the other segments 

 closely punctured and thickly covered with short, white 

 hair; the spiracles are small, oval, and are placed near the 

 base of the apical third ; the lower side is stoutly keeled 

 along the edge. Wings clear hyaline; the stigma fulvo- 

 testaceous; the nervures darker; there is only one trans- 

 verse cubital nervure, and consequently no areolet; the 

 transverse basal nervure is interstitial ; the cubital nervure 

 is oblique at the base and emits a short branch from its 

 middle. 



The $ does not differ much from the ? in coloration. 

 The hinder femora are testaceous below, and the white 

 colour on the hinder tibiae and the tarsi is of a more 

 reddish testaceous tinge, and the stigma is darker. 



This species agrees fairly well with the description
