7. Amasis subflavata. 

 (Plate I. fig. 9.) 



Exp. al. 8 lin., long. corp. 5 lin. 



Steel-blue ; scapulae and two first abdominal incisions above, 

 sides and undersurface of the abdomen, except at the tip, orange- 

 yellow; coxae whitish yellow; pectus, tip of abdomen, and legs 

 black or steel-blue. Wings smoky hyaline, with black costa, 

 stigma, and nervures. 



The facies of this species is that of Hylotoma, and the club of the 

 antennae is more abrupt and less elongated than in the types of 

 Amasis. The hind femora, too, are rather more swollen ; but I am 

 not prepared to found a new genus on a single specimen differing 

 by such slight characters. It is probably allied to A. dilatata.
