margin being considerably narrower than the head and eyes : scutellura 

 rather short, triangular, with the sides nearly straight and the apex 

 acute. Hemelytra ample, the coriaceous part larger than the membra- 

 nous, with the basal half of its outer margin much elevated ; a vein 

 which arises from a strongly elevated line at the base, runs about two- 

 thirds the length of the corium, where it emits a branch on its inner 

 side which reaches the base of the membrane, and passing into it, gives 

 rise, after running singly for a short distance, to five veins on the disc 

 of the membrane, of which the two inner and the two outer ones are 

 united at the base before joining the common trunk : the membrane 

 reaches beyond the apex of the abdomen, and has six veins, of which 

 the outer one is very short, placed at the basal angle. Abdomen convex 

 beneath, the margins thin, projecting a little beyond the hemelytra on 

 each side : the anal appai-atus, in d , consists of two claw-like processes 

 which project nearly as far as the posterior angles of the terminal 

 segment of the abdomen, with their points turned outwards ; a small 

 triangular plate is situate at the base of these which it partially covers, 

 and within the cavity appears the apex of a second triangular piece, 

 which is probably the margin of the dorsal portion of the segment ; all 

 these parts are clothed with long woolly hairs, which nearly fill the 

 intermediate spaces : in the 9 , the vulvar plates are not remarkable : 

 the pectus is flat ; mesostethium broad, placing a considerable interval 

 between the insertions of the anterior and the intermediate feet ; on 

 each side of the metastethium close to its anterior margin and near the 

 intermediate coxre is a small spine directed outwards and forwards, 

 these appear to be perforated on their posterior surface, at about half 

 their length and are evidently formed by the produced margins of the 

 odoriferous apertures : legs moderate, slender, the posterior pair long- 

 est ; tarsi 3-jointed, 1 and 3 about equal, the second minute (Dallas). 

 Distinguished from Urostylis, Westw., by its stoat antennEe of which 

 the first joint is not much longer than the head.

Body elongate-ovate, above ferruginous grey, finely and thickly 

 pimctured : pronotum narrowly margined with yellow and with a narrow, 

 impunctate, longitudinal line on the disc, of the same colour ; a small 

 black spot on the lateral margin, near the lateral angle : scutellum with 

 a narrow longitudinal yellow line, continuous with that of the pronotum, 

 the latei-al margins yellowish : the basal third of the outer margin of the 

 hemelytra and a small line in the yellow basal portion, a spot on the
