Metanotuni sliori in centre, sides lar^'er, rounded lef,'s of 

 moderate lcn','tjli, hinder femora thicker than anterior, which 

 are roundly incised at apex below : fore and hind coxa? more 

 than twice longer than thick, the hinder the loTiger. Wings 

 bandetl ; basal vein loii^u, about one-fourth longer than 

 marginal, which is thickened at apex: stignial vein short, 

 curved, thickened at apex : postmarginal extening to apex, 

 Itut becomin;/ faint towards the end. Abdomen sessile, 

 basal segment the larger, all the segments transverse at apex, 

 becoming gradually narrowed : last segment produced into a 

 stylus as long as the preceding three segments united ; ovi- 

 positor 251'ojecting half its length beyond this. 



Belongs to the CI eo 111/ mi nee. It should be kntjwn by the 

 anterior femora not being swollen, and by their being roundly 

 incised at the apex : by the pi-onotum being keeled down the 

 middle : by the transverse abdominal segments ; and by the 

 long, projecting ovipositor-like last segment. The form of 

 the abdomen is pretty much as in the Malayan Eleinbrd 

 Cam., but that has the antenna placed in the middle of the 

 face: the collar is shorter, and not keeled. It is not unlike 

 TiKH/a, Cam., from Borneo: but that has the eyes pilose, the 

 pronotum not keeled, the third abdominal segment nearly 

 as long as the basal two united, and the antennae shorter and 

 thicker.
