562 Mr. Edward Saunders on 



species "pronoto margine apicali arcuatim emarginato," 

 whereas in these specimens the posterior margin of the 

 pronotum is very distinctly angnlated. The species of the 

 exaltatus group are very difficult to distinguish in the $ sex. 

 I however put them under parvulus, as 9 of them were 

 taken on the same day with 8 males, which seem to me to 

 be normal individuals of that species.

This is a much larger $ than the others, and I suspect it 

 may belong to pusillus, Schiodte, but without seeing the 

 J I should not like to say for certain.

I have little doubt that the above $ is the $ of this species, and is 

 so far as I can ascertain undescribed; it resembles the 9 in coloration, 

 but has the bands of the wings less distinct, the apicalone covering the 

 apex of the. wing and not broken by a white sub-apical spot. The head 

 and thorax are dull, finely and very closely punctured, the propodeum 

 having a fine transverse striation, and a somewhat impressed dorsal 

 line ; the antennae are slender and clothed with a very short pilosity, 

 visible only under a strong lens, abdomen very finely coriace- 

 ous ; apical ventral valve flat, slightly emarginate at the apex ; coxae 

 and pleura with a silvery -grey pile.
