Psyche 
[December 
having a rather coarse appearance, broadly grooved down the 
middle; post-scutellum yellow, slightly narrower than scutellum, 
sides parallel, anterior margin transverse, posterior margin 
rounded, shining and almost impunctate; median segment 
yellow, much broader than long, broadly and shallowly ex- 
cavated down the middle, more or less impunctate, with com- 
paratively long golden-brown hairs on the sides; abdomen 
ochraceous-brown, posterior margin of second segment, and 
succeeding segments, ochraceous, the first two segments with 
hairs arising from fine punctures, which lie along them closely 
longitudinally adpressed, giving them a finely striated appear- 
ance; succeeding segments very closely punctate with short 
golden hairs arising from them; legs ochraceous; with short 
golden pubescence on the tibiae and tarsi; wings iridescent- 
hyaline, nervures brown; tegulse ochraceous. 
Length: 6 millimetres. 
Habitat: David, Chiriqui, Panama {G. C. Champion). 
Holotype and twenty-eight paratypes in the British Mu- 
seum. 
The small size and ochraceous color of this species makes it 
so distinct from the other species of the genus known to me that 
it is unnecessary to institute a comparison. 
Nectarina scutellaris Fabr.
