nearest to Golpognathus ; but it is doubtful if it really 
belongs to that genus. 
Podogaster striatus, sp. nov. 
Head and thorax yellow, the occiput, vertex, a broad 
line on the meson otum proceeding from the pronotum to 
about the middle, where it is joined by a transverse band, 
which occupies the remainder of the mesonotum to the scutel- 
lum; abroad line on metanotum projecting at each angle 
at the apex, a large spot immediately below the tegulse, and a 
smaller and rounder one on either side of sternum, black. 
Antennse black, the scape brownish beneath, abdomen 
black, fulvous at the sides and ventral surface from 
the second segment. Legs yellow, the four front tibiae and 
femora of a more reddish hue at the apex; hind coxae black, 
except at the extreme apex; the hind tibiae and tarsi fuscous 
black, paler at the joints. Wings hyaline, fuscous at the 
apex ; tegulae brownish. Head and prothorax impunctate ; 
mesonotum to the tegulae very faintly punctured, from 
tegulae to scutellum rugose ; scutellum faintly blistered at 
the base, a transverse ridge at the apical third. Metanotum 
reticulated, the reticulations large, fainter at the base; sides 
of sternum faintly punctured ; the edge of prothorax on its 
lower half near the mesothorax slightly obliquely striated. 
The scutellum is depressed in the middle; the mandibles 
are piceous. Abdomen much compressed laterally, sabre- 
shaped ; petiole almost cylindrical, thickened at apex, and 
longer than the second segment. Legs covered with a close 
and moderately long pile. 
Length, 12 mm. 
Differs from the type (P. coarctatus, Brulle), in wanting 
the ferruginous colour of the thorax, the yellow front tarsi, 
in the different arrangement of black on the thorax, &c.
