tured ; sixth segment as closely, but more finely punctured,^ 

 without a transverse furrow ; seventh shining, impunctate. 

 There is a short, smooth furrow at the base of the metanotum 

 in the centre ; the rest of the metanotum closely, distinctly 

 punctured. Basal three segments of abdomen united, longer 

 than thorax. Ovipositor as long as abdomen ; sheaths moder- 

 ately broad, densely pilose. 



Has the body- and leg-colouration of E. anana Cam., from 

 Assam ; but that has the wings yellowish-hyaline, clouded at 

 the apex. E. flaviceps, Cam., from New Guinea, is almost 

 similar as regards colouration, but has the head more dis- 

 tinctly yellowish in tint, the metathorax fuscous, and the 

 ba.sal segment of the abdomen; and the central part of the seg- 

 ment is not clearly raised and separated, while its sides are not 

 keeled. 



Obs. — ErythrojiKiipha Ashm., is very closely allied to 

 Trichiothecus Cam., from Assam; it may be known from the 

 latter by the clypeus being deeply, roundly incised ; while, in 

 Trichiothecus, it is only depressed at the apex and transverse; 

 the sheaths of the ovipositor are broader, and more densely 

 pilose, the hairs, too, being longer. The colouration of the 

 two is very similar, black, with the fore legs, head, and 

 thorax red, the wings uniformly fuscous. In Trichiothecus 

 the disco-cubital nervure is broken by a minute stump of a 

 nervure.
