Ehogas (Ehogas) sanchezi sp. nov. 



Black ; first tergite, narrow basal portion of second tergite, 

 fore and middle legs, hind coxse, and basal half of hind femora 

 ferruginous ; hind tibiae piceous, pale at base ; hind tarsi whitish, 

 except last joint. Antennae black, a narrow white band at 

 middle. Wings faintly smoky, veins brownish. 



Male, length, 5.5 millimeters. 



Head viewed from above thick transverse, narrowed back of 

 eyes, which are large and prominent, distance between eyes sub- 

 equal to distance from occipital carina to antennal sockets ; entire 

 surface punctate-rugose, the rugse carried forward between eyes 

 and ocelli; ocellar area bordered by a narrow, complete, im- 

 pressed groove, which is broader and crenulate at the sides; 

 occipital carina broadly incurved ; length of vertex back of ocelli 

 slightly less than length of entire ocellar area; ocelli small, 

 distance from ocelli to eyes much greater than interocellar dis- 

 tance and little greater than long diameter of an ocellus, anterior 

 ocellus farther removed. 



Face to mouth broader than long, strongly, coarsely, trans- 

 versely wrinkled throughout (excepting clypeus), with a strong, 

 elevated, median carina on basal half; mouth opening large, 

 subcircular; cljT)eus large, coarsely punctate, broader than long, 

 basal suture broadly curved and strongly impressed ; clypeal pits 

 distant from eyes four times their diameter. Head viewed from 

 side with face margin broadly curved above, clypeus slightly 

 prominent ; cheek closely, finely wrinkled above, punctate below, 

 very broad, much broader below than above, width at middle 

 about half width of eye; malar space large, its length greater 

 than lower width of cheek ; eye of medium size, elliptical. Max- 

 illary palpi with third and fourth joints stouter and piceous, 

 the latter being the longest. 



Antennae about as long as entire body; scape broad through- 

 out, length one and one-half times apical width; funicle about 

 half length of scape, narrowed apically ; length of middle flagellar 

 joints one and one-half times the width. 



Mesonotum trilobed, middle lobe very broadly extended and 

 with a very weak median carina, surface thickly, roughly punc- 

 tate, lateral lobes more sparsely punctate and shagreened, notauli 

 very strong and deep, crenulate, strongly converging posteriorly, 

 where they are outwardly margined by a crenulated furrow, 

 which continues laterally along hind margin of mesonotum ; pos-
