of only I lower or. and only 2 scutellar bristles, and by the different pattern of the 

 abdomen, wings and scutellum. Length 5 mm., with the ovipositor. 



Head light yellow, the frons dark yellow in the middle, but without distinct 

 fuscous median stripe ; on the occiput, below and outside the vt., is a black spot on 

 each side, which is wholly wanting in the preceding species. Antennae light yellow, 

 the third joint broader and shorter, with the upper apical angle a little sharpened ; 

 arista black. 



Thorax as in the preceding, the pleura much less hairy ; the median black stripe 

 is much smaller and abbreviated, not prolonged on the scutellum ; the latter wholly 

 yellow, with a black dot at the tip ; metanotum as in the precedmg, but the hypo- 

 pleura also black. The 2 scutellar bristles are very long. Haltères and squamulae 

 yellow. 



Abdomen very narrow and elongate, not distinctly narrowed at the base ; pubes- 

 cence and bristles black. It is yellow, with a black cross band on the base of the 

 second segment, and black spots on the sides of the others. Ovipositor shining black, 

 as long as the 2 last abdominal segments together, without the apical bristles of the 

 preceding. Venter yellow. 



Legs wholly yellow, a little more slender than in the preceding. 



Wings with the ist and the 2nd band exactly as in the preceding ; the 3rd 

 band is united with the black of the tip forming a great single black patch, which 

 includes a hyaline band before the posterior cross- vein from the 3rd to the 5th vein. 

 The 2nd band is also united with the third at the hind margin of the wings. 



This species is undoubtedly congeneric with the preceding, notwithstanding the 

 different chaetotaxy on the head and scutellum, and the want of the bristles at the tip 

 of the basal joint of the ovipositor.

Distinguished from the other genera by the want of the prst. ; from Ptilona it 

 differs in having the dc. and 2 lower or., a bare 3rd vein and a different pattern of 

 the wings. 



Head broader than high ; eyes round ; face concave and epistome prominent ; 

 antennae inserted on the middle of the eyes, reaching the epistome, the 3rd joint 

 3 times the length of the 2nd, rounded at the tip ; ar.'sta shortly but densely plumose. 

 Or. I. 2, or I. 3; oc. very small, almost indistinct or wanting ; vt. 2, strong; pvt. 

 weak ; the bristles of the occipital row very weak and short ; genal bristle strong ; 

 vibrissal edges without distinct bristles ; palpi bristly. 



Thorax elongate, with complete chaetotaxy, but the prst. wholly wanting : the 

 bristles are not strong ; i or 2 mpl. ; pt. well developed. Scutellum triangular, flat- 

 tened, bearing 4 bristles. Abdomen narrow and elongate, bristly at the tip; male geni- 

 talia strongly developed, prominent, with a pendulous middle organ ; ovipositor flat, 

 very narrow, not bristly at the tip, as long as the last 3 abdominal segments together. 



Legs proportionally short and stout ; femora not serrulated beneath, those of the
