Braunsia variegata, n. sp. 



$ 10 mms. long. Smooth and shining, head and thorax 

 finely punctate and hairy, abdomen for two-thirds its length 

 longitudinally striate, apically microscopically finely sculptur- 

 ed and hairy; black, the cheeks, labrum, trophi, basal segment 

 of the antennae, pronotum and posterior margin of the pro- 

 and mesopleurae, tegulae, lateral areas of the scutellum, the 

 postscutellum, metanotum in the middle and anteriorly on 

 sides and below on the pleurae, basally on 1st and 2nd ab- 

 dominal segments (on the 1st continued as a stripe along the 

 middle), a transverse stripe along the furrow between 2nd 

 and 3rd segments (continued anteriorly and posteriorly along 

 the sides), anterior and middle legs entirely, a stripe on 

 posterior aspect of coxae, trochanters, tibiae (except at apex) 

 and tibial spurs of hind legs ochraceous. Head transverse, 

 triangular viewed from in front, wide between the eyes which 

 are prominent and bulging, ocelli ferruginsous, arranged in 

 an isosceles triangle on the polished vertex, the anterior angle 

 extremely obtuse, lateral members about 1 diameter from an- 

 terior, about 2 diameters from each other; front deeply ex- 

 cavate, between antennae, which are widely separated at the 

 base and joined close to the eyes, are filamentous and multi- 

 segmented (broken off apically), 2nd segment stout, twice as 

 long as wide, 3rd only half both shining, punctate and sparsely 

 clothed, the flagellum densely clothed and opaque; face very 

 hairy, foveate on the sides anteriorly, labrum prominent, cheeks 

 wide, nearly one-half long diameter of eye. -Pronotum narrow, 

 pleurae well developed, mesonotum with anterior furrows in- 

 distinct, parapsidal grooves complete and distinct, converging 

 posteriorly and merging before attaining posterior margin, 

 lateral margins as well as parasides crenulate, mesopleurae con- 

 vex, the mesosternum bulging, the wide groove between them 

 crenulate, also a transverse furrow on mesopleurae close to 

 the dorsal margin and another short furrow posteriorly, join- 

 ing the crenulate posterior margin ; disc of scutellum triangular 

 with a deep fovea in front, divided in the middle" by a thin 

 carina, the lateral areas of scutellum as well as the posts- 

 cutellum and metanotum strongly margined posteriorly, the 

 last strongly convex, with a median anterior carina, and very 

 hairy, the pleurae also very hairy and the spiracle elliptical. 

 Abdomen _slender, longer than head and thorax together, sub- 

 petiolate, 1st segment widening posteriorly, about 5 times as 

 long as apically wide, longitudinally bicarinate in the middle 

 and striate apically, 2nd and 3rd segments solidly joined, also
