Length 14% lines. Head and thorax shining and nigro- 
gzneous; abdomen black. Head quadrate, punctured, most 
closely so.at the sides of the vertex. Thorax punctured, and 
with a suture crossing between the tegulz ; animpressed curved 
line runs from the suture on each side, diverging outwardly to 
the anterior margin of the mesothorax ; a shorter line running 
between it and the tegulz ; the scutellum punctured ; the meta- 
thorax pubescent, and having a deep central longitudinal de- 
pression ; posteriorly emarginate, the angles of the emargination 
produced and acute; wings pale, fulvo-hyaline and iridescent ; 
the stigma black, the nervures at the base pale testaceous ; legs 
black ; with the base and apex of the joints ferruginous. Abdo- 
men black, smooth, shining, and impunctate; the petiole with

Male.—Xiphydria flavopicta, Smith, |. c., 1878, p. 1. 
Otago (Hutton) ; Canterbury (Wakefield).—B.M. 
The two radial cells separate this species from Derecyrta, 
and the shorter ovipositor removes it from X<iphydria. I there- 
fore place it provisionally in Brachixiphus, the type of which is 
BL. grandis, Phil. from Chili. 2. flavipes, Phil. a second Chilian 
species, is, however, a true Derecyrta. I may add that D. dzcolor, 
Wesw., is certainly the male of 5. grandis.
