and shining ; metanotum closely, transversely, not very strongly striated, 
the striae extending on to the upper half of the metapleurae ; it is densely 
covered with black hair ; the apex is transverse ; the apical segments 
are covered with fulvous hair ; the long spur of the hind tibiae does not 
reach to the middle of the metatarsus ; the serration on the tibiae is not 
very strong ; the tarsi are more strongly spinose. 
Allied to S. jamisieri Guer. That species has no black line across 
the vertex, the mesonotum and scutellum are rufo- testaceous, the third 
antennal joint is shorter compared with the fourth, it being not much 
longer than it, the base of the pronotum is more distinctly rounded, not 
transverse as in lineaticollis, and it is densely coverd with golden pile.

A male is probably this species, at any rate it agrees with Smith’s short 
description, except that the apex of the abdomen is not ferruginous. The 
second abscissa of the radius is about one-fourth longer than the third ; 
the third transverse cubital nervure is received near the base of the apical 
fourth ; the second is broadly rounded outwardly, and is received shortly 
beyond the middle of the cellule ; the transverse median nervure is rounded 
outwardly, and is received about three-fourths of the length of the latter 
beyond it ; the accessory nervure in the hind wings is interstitial. Hinder 
ocelli separated from each other by one-half less the distance they are 
from the eyes. Tibiae and tarsi closely spinose ; claws with a short tooth 
near the base ; the apices of the tarsal joints are blackish, as are also the 
palpi. Only the sc pe of the antennae is present. The labrum is ferru- 
ginous. 
Salius irenensis, sp. n. 
Black ; the antennae orange-red ; a narrow line on the inner orbits, 
commencing at the ocelli and extending to the bottom, rufo-testaceous ; 
the greater part of the outer orbits and of the occiput dark rufous ; the 
fore femora from shortly before the middle, the apex of the four posterior, 
and the tibiae rufo-testaceous, as are also the tarsi, except the apices of 
the joints, which are black; wings fuscous- violaceous ; the stigma and 
nervures black. The second abscissa of the radius fully twice the length 
of the third ; the first transverse cubital nervure roundly curved ; the
