does not ove?Ji$ng the pronotum, but is strongly convex and reaches 

 to the anterior limit of the thorax. Pedicle with only one knot, 

 much broader than long, concave beneath, anterior and posterior 

 edges concave, the latter much broader than the .former ; sides 

 convex, converging anteriorly. The two halves of the pedicle form 

 as it were two wings as in the other species of the genus, P>eneath, 

 the pedicle is armed with a large tooth, very long, and very thick, 

 and ending in a blunt point ; the anterior face of this tooth is 

 oblicpie, its posterior vertical ( Very slightly curved backwards). 



The whole body smooth and shining, with very hue, scattered 

 hair-bearing pits, wanting in places. 



Pubescence greyish -yellow, rather long, more or less all over the 

 body. On the pedicle it forms a greyish nap, on the thorax the 

 pubescence is much less close and permits the sculpture to be seen. 

 On the abdomen the pubescence is shorter and very sparse, while on 

 the head and on the sloping area of the metanotum it is almost 

 absent. On the face, and the underside of the body ( especially of 

 the pedicle) and on the thighs are long curved hairs. There are some 

 few somewhat scattered erect hairs on the legs, otherwise there are 

 no erect hairs. 



Dlack tinged with brown. Extremity and underside of the abdo- 

 men, tooth of the pedicle aud antennae of a reddish- or yellowish-brown. 

 Legs and periferal half of mandibles yellow-testaceous. 



AViugs faintly tinged with brown, finely pubescent, with the 

 marginal spot aud the nervures blackish-brown. The radial cell 

 closed. The transverse nervure is long, and joins the outer cubital 

 branch close to its starting point. 



Thana, 31st March, 1890, g and $ taken together. 

 This species is distinguished by the hollowed thorax, slender and 

 very elongate form, and smooth and shining metanotum of its 5 . 

 The $ is also very distinct from the species already described. 



Genus TEIGONOGASTER, n. gen. 



General aspect of aP/ieidok % . Antennae 11 -jointed ; club three 

 jointed, the club is as long as the rest of the funiculum ; the last 

 joint is if anything longer than the two preceding combined, the 

 penultimate is thicker, but barely longer than the antepenultimate,
