narrowed on the inner side, on the apex of the 2nd segment, yellow. Apex of clypeus trans- 

 verse. Antennal scape rufous, yellow below ; the basal joints of the flagellum dark rufous ; 

 the hook reddish, gradually narrowed from the base to the apex. 



Euraenes variventris sp. nov. 



Black, the basal 5 joints of the antenna? and the others, except on the top, man- 

 dibles, upper part of eye incision, a line over the antennal keel, a narrow line on the 

 outer orbits, prothorax except the prosternum, a small irregular spot on the sides of the 

 mesonotum near the middle, tegulee except at the base, scutellums, the metanotum except 

 the central depression, a large mark on the mesopleurse, commencing below the apex 

 of the tegulre and extending to the apex, almost square, immediately below it and separ- 

 ated only by a narrow black line, which is rounded at the base and becomes gradually 

 narrowed from the top to the bottom, is a mark, longer than wide and obliquely nar- 

 rowed below, under the hind wings; a curved, oblique line on the lower half of the 

 metapleune and the apex, the red on the latter continuous with that on the metanotum, 

 a large triangular mark on the sides of the 2nd segment at the base and the 2nd ventral 

 segment, except for a black line down the centre of the basal half, a more irregular, 

 transverse one near the apex, and the 3rd ventral segment, rufous; the 1st abdominal 

 segment of a brighter red colour above to shortly beyond the lateral teeth from near 

 the base, the sides to shortly beyond the teeth entirely, the rest only on the lower side, 

 the basal half of this being rounded and much wider than the apical; and the ventral 

 apical two- thirds except for a black central line, narrowed gradually towards and reach- 

 ing to the base of the apical fourth; the other ventral segments are rufo-testaceous, the 

 basal parts broadly yellow, the basal third of the penultimate and the basal half of the 

 last being also pale yellow; the sides of the dilated part of the petiole are yellow, with 

 a narrower black line between the yellow lines, and there is a narrow irregular trans- 

 verse reddish line near the apex. Legs red, the hind femora black above. Wings hya- 

 line, suffused with fulvous in front, the radial cellule except the basal fourth, fuscous 

 violaceous, the costa, stigma and basal nervures fulvous. Clypeus, labrum, antennal 

 tubercle and the lower part of the eye-incision (the inner part roundly dilated) and a 

 narrow line on either side of the base of the pronotum, yellow, tf. 



Length (total) 20 mm. 



Her u low lands, Ngare na nyuki, January. 



Clypeus twice longer than wide, the narrower lower part shorter than the widened 

 upper; the sides lined with pale rufous, the apex transverse. The 3rd antennal joint is 

 almost as long as the following 2 united; the hook is long, curved, wide, black, dull 

 rufous at the base, its apex reaching to the apex of the 9th joint. Front, vertex and 

 thorax closely, distinctly, but not very strongly punctured; the furrow on the metanotum 

 is on the apical half only and it becomes gradually widened below. The hinder ocelli 

 are placed close to the eyes.
