NEW SPECIES OF INDIAN HYMENOPTERA. 5G9 



$ Sculpturing of head entirely hidden by the pubescence ; mesono- 

 tum and scutellum closely and rugosely punctured ; abdomen with the 

 basal two segments more distinctly punctured at base than in the 9 ; 

 calcar of intermediate tibiae short, not spined ; posterior femora enor- 

 mously incrassated, posterior tibiae short, much widened at apex, and 

 produced both above and below, their width at apes being nearly equal to 

 their length. Black; antennae piceous ; apical plate of scutellum rufo- 

 testaceous > abdomen with non-pubescent interrupted bands, similar to 

 those of the 9 j on segments 1 — 5 ; pubescence on head and mesonotum 

 thiuk, short and fulvous, on median segment and 1st abdominal segment 

 griseous ; a little more griseous or pale fulvous pubescence on the 

 abdomen than in the 9 > ana l fimbria black ; pubescence on legs grey, 

 very short, longer and pale golden on inside of posterior tarsi ; wings 

 light flavo-hyaline, their apices infuscated, nervures and teguhe dark 

 rufo-testaceous* 



Long. 13 — 15 mm. 



Habitat — Deesa ; not uncommon j but very local. 



This species would come into Bingham's key under a new sub-division 

 of " A ", " all the fasciae interrupted." 



Nomia kangiLe, n. sp. 



9 The pubescence hides the sculpturing on the clypeus and front, 

 postscutellum, and sides of the median segment ; vertex closely and 

 deeply punctured, mesonotum and scutellum more finely and closely 

 punctured, bases of abdominal segments very deeply and distinctly punc- 

 tured, the punctures being fine and close at the bases, larger and less 

 close in the middle of segments, apices of segments, under the pubescence, 

 depressed and impunctate ; pronotum with a notch in the centre 

 anteriorly, enclosed space at base of median segment rather small, 

 longitudinally striate or rugose. Black; 2nd and 3rd joints of flagellum 

 of antennae red below, all the tibiae and tarsi more or less rufo-testaceous, 

 apices of abdominal segments under the pubescence testaceous; pubes- 

 cence pale golden, very dense on the clypeus and front, less dense on 

 the thorax, and forming dense, moderately broad apical bands on the 

 margins of segments 1 — 5 ; anal fimbria and pubescence on legs of the 

 same colour as the rest of the pubescence ; wings flavo hyaline, tbeif 

 apices infuscated, nervures and tegulse pale rufo-testaceous, the 1st 

 recurrent nervure is received into the 2nd cubital cell past its middles
