Long. 8 mm. 



Habitat — Kangra Valley, 4,500ft.; two specimens received from Mr. 

 G. C. Dudgeon. 



Nearest to N. aurifrons (Smith) and aurobalteata (Cam.), from both 

 of which it may be distinguished by the abdomen being punctured, 

 except at the apices of the segments. 



Pasites maculatus (Jur.). 



I obtained at Quetta a specimen of this genus, which I identify with 

 some doubt as this species. 



Epeolus pictus (Nyl.). 



One specimen of an Epeolus, which, I think, is this species, was ob- 

 tained by me at Quetta. 



Ammobates solitarius, n. sp. 



9 Head, including the labrum, and thorax very closely and finely, 

 abdomen still more minutely, punctured, but the whole of the sculptur- 

 ing more or less obscured by the pubescence ; labrum very long, rounded 

 at apex ; maxillary palpi 6-jointed, the basal and apical joints the longest, 

 sub-equal in length, the apical joint very narrow ; antennae reaching to 

 the scutellnm, which is prominent, almost bi-tuberculate, having a 

 median depression ; postscutellum semicircular, rather large ; median 

 segment almost vertical ; abdomen nearly as long as the head and thorax 

 United, apical segment minutely rugose, wide, almost truncate at apex. 

 Head and thorax black; antennae rufo-piceous ; labrum, abdomen, ihe 

 greater part of the femora and the whole of the tibia? and tarsi rather 

 light red, except the claws, which are long and blackish : pubescence 

 grey, short, thick on head and thorax, and forming wide bands on apical 

 margins of segments 1 — 5 ; wings hyaline, nervures piceous, tegulae red. 



$ Similar, but abdomen and legs somewhat darker red, apical 

 abdominal segment broadly incised. 



Long. 6-7 mm. 



Habitat — Quetta; two specimens of each sex. 



This genus is new to India. The present species is nearest to A. 

 armeniacus (Mor.), but may be distinguished by the clear hyaline wings, 

 and by the first three abdominal segments being pubescent at apex, not 

 smooth and bare. 



Ctenoapls lutea ((Jam.). 



In tho Annals and Magazine of Natural History for August, 1901, 

 Mr. Cameron described two species of a new genus from specimens
