NEW SPECIES OF INDIAN BYMENOPTERA. 23 



abdominal segmont with a lateral spot light green ; scape, first two 

 joints of flagellum, and legs, except the tarsi, bluish green ; remainder 

 of flagellum, and the tarsi piceous ; the anterior portion of the mesono- 

 tum black; facial hollow with rather long, thick, silvery pubescence, 

 antennse and all the tarsi with thick short pile ; fore wing with the base 

 hyaline, the apical half very slightly infuscated, hindwing hyaline ; 

 nervures piceous, tegulse purple. 



Long. 11 mm. 



Habitat : Quetta ; three specimens. 



EUCHRCEUS PURPURATUS LFabl\). 



Fairly common at Peshin and Quetta ; the wings of those that I 

 obtained are hyaline, not infuscated as is usual in this species. 



EucHRozoiDES, n. gen. 



Differs from Euchrceus in having the mesopleurae produced into a 

 conspicuous tubercle, the sides of which are carinate ; the radial cell is 

 broader and more open at apex than in Euchrceus, and the teeth on the 

 apical abdominal segment are longer and more regular than in that 

 genus ; there is, moreover, scarcely a trace of pubescence in either sex. 

 This genus is closely allied to Euchrceus, but the very conspicuous 

 tubercle on the mesopleurae is, I consider, sufficient to separate them. 



In the shape of the radial cell it approaches Spinolia, and its position 

 would seem to be between these two genera. 



EUCHRCEOIDES OBLATUS, n. sp. 



9 Facial hollow closely and finely punctured, vertex very closely, 

 but more coarsely punctured, granular; thorax more coarsely punctured 

 than vertex, especially on scutellum and postscutellum ; first and second 

 abdominal segments, especially on the disc above, more sparsely and 

 shallowly, third segment closely and finely punctured ; head slightly 

 broader than pronotum, no transverse carina above the facial hollow, 

 but a slight longitudinal carina in front of anterior ocellus ; third joint of 

 antennae slightly longer than the fourth ; pronotum with the sides 

 slightly converging anteriorly, and with a median impression at 

 base; mesopleurae with a very large tubercle, the sides of which 

 are carinate ; abdomen about as long as head and thorax united, 

 third segment longer and less bluntly pointed than in the genus 

 Ewhrcvus, almost semicircular, with fourteen teeth, the latter very 

 regular ; a subapical row of about eighteen small foveae. Metallic
