Lark metaliic purple, the wings hyaline, the antennm, legs and abdomen, lemon yellow, 
the abdomen margined rather broadly along i)roxmial two thirds with metallic purple, purple 
at tip (not broadly) and midway between end of marginal stripes and tip, with a distinct but 
narrow metallic purple cross-stripe. First eoxm conculorous. Pedietd and funi(des 2 and 3 
subequal, funude 1 a little longer than either, one and a half times longer than wide. Mandibles 
soinewhat as in hilonf/lf a^oiahu% with 2 large, acute outer teeth and a minute acute inner one. 
An obscure stripe indicated between the end of the marginal stripes on abdomen. Compared 
with types of biloitgifasciatus and letiuis and Avilh those of Sclifridtodella metcora and 
S. purjmreithorax Girault. 
From one female caught in jungle, January 17, 1914 (A. P. Dodd).

12. APROSTOCETUS SALTENSIS new species. 
Female: — l^ength, 1.10 mm. 
Dark metallic blue, the wings hyaline, the following ])ai‘ts golden yellow: Head, abdomen, 
antennae, a little over distal fourth of scutum and lateral margins of same. Logs lemon yellow 
except the concolorous hind coxa. Abdomen from base wilh three pairs of small bine marginal 
spots (proximal half or someAvhat less) fol1oAA-ed by several transverse stripes on the distal 
half. Fore wing rather narroAV (about 16 lines of cilia wiiere widest), the stignial vein short. 
Tip of abdomen colored. Fimicle joints 2 and 3 subequal, barely shorter than 1 which is 
slightly longer than wide and snbequal to the pedicel; clnb with only a slight terminal spine. 
This species resembles somewhat Ooictrasiichns .mhfasdativentris for which I mistook 
it but besides the obvious generic differences, there is more bhie on the s<'utum. the valves of 
the ovipositor are not plainly extruded, the first Linicle joint is short, there are only two 
comjJete abdominal stripes (as far as I could make out), the wings are shorter and so on.
