NEW SPECIES OF INDIAN IIYMENOPTERA. 583 



ciliated with greyish white hairs ; all the legs with grey pubescence, 

 sometimes mixed with black hairs ; scopa white ; posterior tibiae and tarsi 

 black below ; all the calcaria black ; wings hyaline or sub-hyaline, 

 nervures and tegulae black. 



$ Labrum and clypeus anteriorly with shallow punctures, remainder 

 of head and thorax apparently impunctate, the pubescence hiding the 

 sculpturing ; abdomen finely aciculate, with a few fine punctures ; clypous 

 sub-porrect, very convex, its apex transverse in the middle, the sides 

 rounded ; a short carina between the bases of antennae. Black ; the 

 labrum, except a narrow line all round and two semicircular spots at its 

 basal angles, the clypeus, except two irregular quadrate spots at its base, 

 an irregular mark on the front above the clypeus, extending a short way 

 upwards along the inner orbits of the eyes, but not reaching as high as 

 the base of the antenna?, and the scape of the latter yellow ; the tarsi, 

 except their basal joint, more or less testaceous ; pubescence dense, on 

 the head griseous, mixed with a few black hairs ; on the thorax and first 

 two abdominal segments it varies from griseous to pale fulvous; on the 

 3rd and following segments it is black, the margins of segments being 

 more or less fringed with long griseous hairs, pygidium sub-triangular, 

 with stiff fulvous hairs ; legs with long pubescence, griseous intermixed 

 with black, the inside of anterior tarsi with short fulvous pubescence ; 

 metatarsi of intermediate legs with a very large tuft of black pubescence, 

 the longer hairs white at the tips, tibial calcaria pale ; wings hyaline, 

 nervures dark testaceous, almost black, tegulge black.

The $ is very like the sam9 S9x of P. skltelu (Rud.), but the 9 bears 

 no resemblance to that species.

9 The sculpturing almost entirely hidden by the pubescence ; clypeus 

 finely rugose, mesonotum finely punctured, abdomen minutely and closely 

 punctured ; clypeus large, sub-porrect, with a median longitudinal carina 

 not reaching its apex, its anterior margin arched ; antennae with the 

 2nd joint of the flagellum equal in length to the following four united. 

 Black ; the claws at base rufous, apical joints of tarsi rufo-piceous,
