Lelapromorpha myersi, new sp. 



9 . Ferruginous, the proximal half of the abdomen 

 yellowish with one or two cross stripes of fuscous, the other 

 half blackish, the lateral carinse of the propodeum darkened. 

 Legs yellowish-brown, the caudal coxa dark with a distinct 

 purplish tinge proximad exteriorly, the caudal tibiae fuscous. 

 Antennae dusky-yellowish, the club and distal two funicle- 

 joints yellowish- white. Forewings with a straight-margined 

 brown stripe across it at the submarginal vein just out from 

 apex where the stripe itself is accented in the form of a 

 deeper-coloured round spot by a roundish cluster of hooklet- 

 like black spines ; distad a very large subspherical brownish 

 spot across the wing from the postmarginal vein, the middle of 

 its proximal margin narrowly joining the middle of the proxi- 

 mal stripe, so that when looking up the wing (apicad) the large 

 spot looks not unlike the bag of a gas balloon attached to the 

 basket below it. Thorax with polygonal reticulation (scali- 

 ness), the scutum with obscure thimble punctures. First 

 funicle-joint only about twice the length of the ring-joint, the 

 funicle widening distad. Length, 2 mm. 



From a single specimen.
