irregularly, closely, obliquely striated. Hind coxfe closely, coarsely, transversely 

 striated. 



Ctenopelmini. 



Fintona, geu. uov. 



Areolet 4-augled, the nervures meeting in front ; the transverse median 

 nervure received beyond the transverse basal ; the transverse median nervure 

 in hind wings broken below the middle, the median nervure distinct. Metano- 

 tum not areolated, longish, the top of apical slope bordered by a stout keel. 

 Abdominal petiole longish longer than the 2nd segment, the base half the width 

 of the apex, not widened behind the spiracles ; the 2nd and 3rd segments 

 longer than wide, the 4th square. Clypeus separated from the face by a 

 shallow furrow, roundly convex, its apex rounded. Claws pectinated : the pec- 

 tinations strong at the base only and few in number. Ocelli wider from each 

 other than to the eye margin. Vertex separated from occiput by a weak in- 

 distinct keel. Sheaths of ovipositor shortly projecting, not much longer than 

 the last segment. Clypeal foveas without a hair tuft. Legs long, slender, as 

 are also the antennfe, 



If the abdomen is to be called '' petiolate," this genus, in Ashmead's tables. 

 would come in near Eczetesis, Foerster. It is a slenderly built form with long, 

 slender legs, more like an Ophionid than a Tryphonid. 

 Fintona nigripalpis, sp. nov. 



Black ; the abdomen from the 2nd segment red, the apical segment darker 

 coloured ; the legs similarly coloured, the hind tibiae and tarsi black, the other 

 tarsi infuscated ; wings hyaline, the stigma and nervures black. $ 

 Length 11 mm. 

 Simla, August, 



Head, pro-and mesothorax closely, somewhat strongly punctured : the 

 metanotum much more strongly punctured, more or less reticulated in the 

 middle ; the apical transverse keel stout, smooth ; the part below it closely 

 punctured, more or less striated. Areolet 4-angled, the nervures meeting in 

 front, the recurrent nervure received before the middle ; the disco-cubital and 

 the recurrent nervures largely bullated. First abdominal segment closely 

 strongly punctured, more or less striated in the centre, narrowly at the base, 

 more strongly near the apex, the 2nd segment is closely, strongly, the 3rd not so 

 strongly punctured. Antennae longer than the body, slender ; the ord joint 

 distinctly longer than the 4th. Tarsi closely pilose. Palpi black, stout, 

 covered with white pubescence. 

 Pauroctenus, gen. nov. 



Wings with an areolet which is small, triangular, oblique, the recurrent 

 nervure interstitial with the 2nd transverse cubital. Transverse median nervure 

 received shortly beyond the transverse basal. Transverse median nervure in 

 hind wing broken distinctly below the middle clypeus separated from the face, 

 but not by a distinct furrow at least in the centre, its apex broadly rounded.
