impunctute; bead us broad as thorax, eyes very slightly converging 

 below ; scutellum with its posterior margin rounded and upturned, 

 the lateral teeth short and blunt ; median segment vertical ; abdcmen 

 about half as long again as head and thorax united, conical, the apical 

 segment long, tapering to a point, ventral plate slightly longer than 

 the dorsal. Black ; pubescence snow-white, thick on clypeus and 

 front ; on thorax, legs and abdomen formed of white scales, with two 

 small spots at base of scutellum, and narrow interrupted bands on the 

 margins of segments ; on the inside of all the tarsi it is fulvous or golden ; 

 tarsi reddish-black, calcaria rufo-testaceous ; wings hyaline, darker towards 

 apex, nervures and tegulae black. 



$ Similar, smaller, all the abdominal segments with minute lateral 

 spines, penultimate segment with small blunt lateral teeth, apical segment 

 with six teeth, all long and acute, two being lateral and the remainder 

 apical, of which two are above and two below. 



Long. 9 10 mm. 8 7-8 mm. 



Habitat — Mount Abu ; four specimens. 



The present may be distinguished from any other Indian species by 

 the posterior margin of the scutellum being turned upwards.

Fairly common at Quetta.
