NEW GENUS AND SOME NEW SPECIES OF EYMENOPTERA. 131 



palpi much longer, the last being also longer, being nearly as long as the 

 following 3 united / the claws are cleft, and the antennal scape in the $ is not 

 greatly thickened, nor the last joint greatly narrowed. 



Plesiopanurgus cinerarius, sp. nov. 



Black, the pubescence cinereous, almost white in the $ ; the head closely 

 punctured, the clypeus more strongly and less closely than the front and ver- 

 tex ; these are more strongly punctured in the centre than the sides ; the de- 

 pressed centre of labrum closely longitudinally striated. Thorax opaque, 

 closely punctured, the metathorax more strongly than the rest, the punctures 

 in the centre of metanotum running into reticulations ; the abdomen is more 

 shining, much more finely punctured, with the apices of the segments smooth : 

 the pygidium bare, opaque, impunctate, the hair surrounding it reddish. 

 Calcaria and the long hairs on the metatarsus black. Wings clear hyaline, 

 nervures and stigma black. Tegula) moderately large, black to piceous. The 

 metanotum in the $ is more distinctly reticulated all over. The hair all 

 over is longer and denser than it is in the 9 , but more especially on the 

 head and metanotum ; that on the $, however, may be rubbed off. $ and £. 



Length $ 8 mm. ; $ 9 mm. 



The face in the $ is broadly raised in the centre, reminding one of Lithvr- 

 gus ; the head is larger and broader, apart from the longer hair giving it a 

 broader appearance. The base of the metatarsus in both sexes is narrower 

 than the apex of the tibise. The anterior spur is curved, the apex narrowed, 

 with a short spine at the base. The antennae in both sexes are short. 



Taken at Quetta, Baluchistan, by Lieut.-Col. Nurse, who is satisfied that the 

 specimens I have described are the sexes of one species. 



Diplopteka. 



Foliates gallicus, Linn. 

 Black, with the following yellowish orange markings ; clypeus, mark at base 

 of mandibles, 2 small marks at the end of the antennal keel, a mark, narrowed 

 in the middle, at the eyes, between the antennae and clypeus a curved mark, 

 narrowed gradually laterally over the antennae, a broad line on the upper half 

 of the eye orbits, a line in the centre of pronotum, broadly dilated on the 

 basal half of propleurse and continued as a narrow, irregular line along 

 the top of pronotum, tegulas, a large conical spot below them, 2 short lines 

 in centre of mosonotum, 2 spots (sometimes united) on basal half of scutellum, 

 the outer side the longer, a spot on the outer side of post-scutellum, a large 

 triangular spot on the sides of metanotum, the outer side more rounded than 

 the inner, the top with an irregular incision, a small triangular spot in front of 

 hind coxae, the apex of 1st abdominal segment broadly, the base in the centre 

 with a triangular incision, the apical two-thirds of the 2nd, the centre at the 

 base with a large triangular incision, trilobate at the apex, and the apices of the 

 others, except for broad black bands, trilobate at the apex, and the apices of 

 the 2nd and following ventral segments (the apices of the black bands trilo- 

 bate) and the apices of the femora, the tibiae and the tarsi orange yellow, the
