NEW SPECIES OF INDIAN HYMENOPTERA. 15 



sharply defined laterally, almost carinate ; median Segment gradually 

 sloping towards apex, with a triangular sharply dofined enclosed space, 

 the latter with outwardly divergent striae ; anterior tarsi with long 

 spines ; abdomen longer than head and thorax united, first segment 

 not petiolate, but gradually widening towards apex, where it is as wide 

 as the base of the second segment ; second segment about as long as the 

 first, with a deep transverse furrow at base ventrally ; pygidium shaped 

 like an isosoeles triangle, sparsely punotured. Dark red; the front, 

 vertex, and apical two or three joints of the antennae black ; scutelluin, 

 posfsoutellum, and a broad apical band on second abdominal segment 

 yellow ; the enclosed space at the base of median segment, the femora 

 above, a median narrow band on second, and the base of the third abdo- 

 minal segments blackish ; slightly prninose, with a little sparse silver pile 

 on clypeus and median segment ; wings sub-hyaline, with a dark fuscous 

 oloud covering the whole of the radial and the greater part of the second 

 and third cubital cells, stigma very light testaceous, norvures testaceous, 

 tegulas red ; the first recurrent nervure is received into the second cubital 

 cell near the middle, the second near its outer angle ♦ medial cell of 

 hindwing very long, nearly twice the length of anal cell. 



$ Similar, the antennae longer, anterior tibiae and tarsi yellow, 



Long. 8 mm. 



Habitat : Mount Abu ; five specimens. 



Having the eyes convergent below, this species would come into 

 Bingham's key under " A," but it is not very near any of the other 

 species in that section. Superficially it somewhat resembles G. cajyi- 

 tatus (Niu-se), but the yellow markings are fewer, and the eyes are 

 much more strongly convergent below. The very small ocelli serve 

 to distinguish it at once from G. capitatus, in which species the ocelli 

 are quite three times as large as in the present species. 



GORYTES IMPUDENT, D. Sp. 



$ Smooth and impunctate, covered with some sparse, white 

 pubescence ; eyes with their inner margins parallel, the facetting fine 

 and regular ; ocelli large, the posterior ones distant from the margin 

 of eyes about half as much as their width apart; clypeus very short 

 and broad, its interior margin slightly arched ; antennae long, inserted 

 close above the posterior margin of clypeus, apical joint the longest, 

 curved and pointed, the three joints preceding it somewhat thickened ; 

 cheeks moderately developed ; median segment with a well-defined
