marks, dilated at the middle, at its apex, the scutellum, 

 the post-scutellum, a large somewhat oval mark at the 

 base of the mesopleurse, and a large oblique one on the 

 metapleurse, white. The median segment transversely 

 aciculated, less strongly so at the base ; before the apex 

 is a stout transverse curved keel ; and in the centre are a 

 few transverse strise. Legs entirely rufous ; the fore pair 

 slightly paler in tint. Abdomen smooth, shining, im- 

 punctate. Wings hyaline, iridescent, and with a slight 

 fuscous tinge ; the stigma and nervures fuscous ; the 

 areolet oblique. 



Allied to L. flavo-picta Sm., but that has only two

 the head black.

Long : 5 mm. ?. 



The specimen of this species unfortunately wants the 

 head, but it differs so much from C. nigripes that there 

 can be no doubt of their distinctness. It differs from 

 C. nigripes in the petiole having two strong keels down 

 its centre, which is, further, much more distinctly raised

Pro- and meso-notum shining, closely and strongly 

 punctured, thickly covered with black hair ; the scutellum 

 with large distinctly separated punctures. Median seg-

 the apex. All the pleurae smooth and shining, sparsely 

 haired ; the sternum thickly covered with fuscous hair. 

 Wings fusco-hyaline ; the stigma and nervures dark-
