. Antineura stolata. line with the posterior one, the latter having its usual position; hence, the anterior crossvein becomes unusually long, of about the same length as the posterior. The end of the fourth vein is gently curved towards the third. The fifth and sixth veins are nearly straight. The second basal and anal cells are of moderate size and of equal length; the crossveins closing them are straight; the lower distal angle of the anal cell is slightly obtuse. The general habitus and the coloring of Antineura as well as many details of its structure, prove its relationship to Stenopterin

The general habitus and the coloring of Antineura as well as many details of its structure, prove its relationship to Stenopterina; its position in the same group is also proved by the absence of the prothoracic and sterno-pleural bristles. The differences are obvious, and consist principally in the structure of the head (Stenopt. has a large clypeus, a narrower, hardly prominent front, a face concave in profile, fronto-orbital bristles etc.) and the venation (indistinct auxi- liary v„ position of anterior crossvein ejtc.) The name Antineura alludes to the position of the crossveins. Antineura stolata n. sp. $ Q. Metallic greenish-blve, thorax with faint gray stripes; femora brown, mixed with red; length 13—16 mm. Metallic greenish-blue, moderately shining on the thorax, more so on the abdomen; face black, facial and frontal orbits white; occiput whitish-poUinose below, black above. Antennae: second joint reddish, third brown; arista white, yellowish at base; bottom of the antennal
