bands, one at end of segment 4, another at tip, and another 

 midway between; fore wings clear except brown in anterior 

 basal cell. 



Head not as brown as thorax, strongly declivous, with long, 

 sparse pubescence; vertex a little more than half as long as 

 broad, anterior portion bent downward, posterior ocelli elevated, 

 with a rather deep foveal impression on each side of median 

 line, anterior outer corners produced into a short, upturned 

 epiphysis over each antennal base. Genae a little swollen beneath 

 antennal sockets, bulging slightly forward of vertex. Frons 

 wholly visible, broadest at base; clypeus moderately small; ros- 

 trum short. Antennae a little longer than width of head, banded 

 black and white, second segment with one side of apex produced. 



Thorax broad, strongly arched, sparsely clothed with long 

 hairs, mesonotum very short, transverse; pseudonotum (behind 

 metanotum) large, long, with a pair of slender, upturned, whitish 

 horns between this and basal segment of abdomen. Legs long, 

 hind tibiae long, with a very small basal spur and short distal 

 spines. Forewings somewhat rectangular, hyaline, veins narrow, 

 pterostigma wanting, radius not straight, cubitus unforked. 

 Hind wings reaching about to primary fork of basal vein, veins 

 practically wanting. 



Abdomen short (genitalia mutilated).

Key to the species. 



a\ Forewing with pterostigma; vertex rounded forward and down; head 

 strongly defiexed. 

 6\ Metascutellum with a conical, usually acutely pointed, epiphysis dor- 

 sad; female genital segment usually defiexed at right angles to 

 abdomen. 

 &. Antennae distinctly longer than width of head; posterior ocelli 

 prominently elevated; tip of female genitalia straight.

 conspicuous pubescence. (Philippines, Ceylon, and Malay

c*. Antennas not longer than width of head, usually not as long, 



posterior ocelli not much elevated; tip of female genitalia curved 



outward.
