Smooth and shining ; the apex of mesonotum sparsely, weakly 
punctured ; the scutellum more strongly and weakly punctured. Meta- 
notum with three broad, longitudinal smooth keels down the centre ; 
inside them, near the middle, are two stout transverse keels ; outside them 
is a shallow wide depression, with a few irregular transverse striae ; the 
outer side is coarsely, mostly longitudinally striated, almost reticulated. 
Pleurae smooth, the base of the metapleurae with a closely, finely striated 
band. On the basal third of the abdomen, down the centre, are three 
stout keels, the outer converging and uniting with the central ; the space 
between them at the base is transversely incised, the sides projecting ; at 
their apex is a similar area, but longer and wider at the base, which is 
formed by the transverse keel at the apex of the basal lateral keels ; these 
areae are stoutly transversely striated; they are bordered by transverse 
striae, outside of which, and beyond them, the segment is irregularly 
rather strongly and closely reticulated ; on the apex are two rounded 
incisions, the part separating the two forming a longish triangular tooth ; 
outside the incisions the apex is irregularly toothed. The basal abscissa 
of the cubitus is slightly roundly curved towards the costa ; the second 
is broadly roundly curved backwards ; the apical abscission of the radius 
is as long as the basal two united. 
Phanerotoma curvimaculata, sp. n. 
Luteous ; the apex of the antennae fuscous, a large rufo-fuscous 
mark on the centre of the second segment ; it becomes gradually widened 
towards the apex, where there is a semicircular incision ; the third segment 
is fuscous, except on the sides and for an incision, longer than wide, 
transverse at the base, rounded at the apex in the centre ; the legs are 
similarly coloured, but paler, and with the apex of the hind tibiae and the 
hind tarsi infuscated. Wings hyaline, iridescent, the stigma and para- 
stigma pallid testaceous ; the first transverse cubital nervure broadly, 
roundly curved, the much shorter second straight, and oblique. Female. 
Length, 5*5 mm. 
Face bluntly keeled down the centre, smooth ; the space on either 
side of the keel closely, finely obliquely striated. Front closely, irregularly 
obliquely striated and with a smooth furrow down the centre. Vertex 
irregularly closely punctured. Prothorax finely punctured, the pleurae 
more or less striated. Mesonotum finely reticulated, more finely so at 
the base. The scutellum forms almost an equilateral triangle, and is 
finely irregularly striated ; the parts bordering it are more strongly 
obliquely striated. Base of metanotum closely, irregularly striated ; the 
apical slope irregularly reticulated. Mesopleurae obliquely striated, the 
striae more or less interlacing. Upper half of metapleurae irregularly 
punctured, the lower irregularly obliquely striated. Basal two segments 
of abdomen somewhat strongly, closely, irregularly striated, the other 
finely rugulose, and more densely covered with white pile than the others. 
Phanerotoma pallidipes, sp. n. 
Kufo-testaceous ; the abdomen and legs pallid yellow, the third 
abdominal segment darker coloured (perhaps discoloured) ; the apex of
