of the segments straw-coloured, and at the apices all- 
most white. Wing length about 3 .o mm. 
The Male Hypopygium (Figs. 6 and 7). 
Side piece viewed from above conical, about twice 
as long as broad at the base, the tip narrow and blunt. 
( Jasper viewed from the side broad at the base, con¬ 
siderably constricted at about one-fiftli of its length, 
then widening slightly up to rather over one-half, 
after which it tapers to a point. 
Lobe of side-piece very prominent, projecting al¬ 
most at right angles from rather over two-thirds of 
the distance from the base of the side-piece; bearing 
on the posterior side three Hong finger-like processes, 
the middle one of which is distinctly hooked at the 
tip, and a long very thin hair rising from near the 
base of the middle process. On the anterior side of the 
lobe are three shorter and thinner digits, and from 
the extreme apical and inner part of the lobe rises a 
strap-like flattened plate, rounded at the tip, about six 
or seven times as long as broad. Tenth sternites with¬ 
out basal arm, terminating in a crown of rather long 
but not numerous thorns. Mesosome formed of a pair 
of broad more or less oval shaped structures, not reach¬ 
ing to the tip of the processes of the tenth sternites, and 
terminating in a small blunt inwardly and down¬ 
wardly curved hook. Lobes of ninth tergile rather 
prominent, round, bearing about seven fine bristles. 
Female : 
Antennae with the torus and the basal half of the 
next joint yellow, the remainder dark brown with
