MESSRS. R. E. TURNER AND J. WATERSTON ON THE 



and pleural arese finely punctured. Petiole with the basal teeth 

 blunt and not very prominent, spiracles only feebly prominent. 

 Hind coxte and femora sparsely punctured. Apical tergites with 

 sparse hairs. Second abscissa of the radius very little shorter 

 than the second transverse cubital nervure, distance between the 

 recurrent and second cubital nervures not quite equal to half 

 the length of the latter nervure.

 In the fused condition of the face and clypeus this resembles 

 pilosum, but is much less pilose, very different in colour and in 

 the number of antenna! joints. The antennse are very feebly 

 thickened to the aj^ex, but are not as stout in this species as in 

 pilosum.

Long. 10 mm. 



5 . Clypeus and face rather strongly punctured, the face in 

 the middle rugulose longitudinally ; labrum very long, distinctly 

 longer than the clypeus, more finely punctured ; mandibles 

 simple. Eyes distinctly, but shallowly emarginate a little above 

 the base of the antennje ; third antennal joint fully as long as 

 the fourth and fifth combined, the eight basal joints of the funicle 

 cylindrical. Front and vertex finely punctured ; mesonotum 

 shining, finely and evenly punctured, the median lobe promi- 

 nent ; notauli well developed, not very short; pleurae shining, 

 almost smooth, the epimeral furrow crenulated on the upper 

 half ; scutellum and postscutellum almost smooth. Median seg- 

 ment with the basal area not closed apically, the apical carina 

 being obsolete; areola almost smooth, distinctly divided from the 

 i Qgulose petiolar area ; external and dentiparal are?e finely and 

 sparsely punctured, each produced into a small tooth at the external 

 apical angle, that of the external area being stouter and less 

 acute than that of the dentiparal ; spiracular area finely punctured- 

 rugulose ; pleural area finely punctured, with larger punctures 

 intermingled. vSpiracles of the petiole prominent, a very feebly 

 developed tooth on each side between the spiracles and the base. 

 Hind coxfB finely punctured above, closely punctured-rugulose on 

 the outer side and beneath. Second abscissa of the radius a little 

 shorter than the second transverse cubital nervure ; the distance 

 between the recurrent an<l second transverse cul)ital nervures
