which is more than double the length of fourth; 

 the remaining joints to the last much broader than 

 long; the last joint is conical at apex, and double 

 the length of penultimate. Head densely pilose; 

 front largely projecting. Pronotum aciculated. 

 Mesonotum smooth and shining, flat; the sutures 

 broad, moderately deep; the fovea at base of 

 scutellum large, deep, much wider than long. 

 Metanotum aciculated; the sides finely rugose; at 

 the sides the apex projects into two prominent 

 teeth, cleft in the middle. Petiole as long as 

 posterior coxse, rugosely reticulated, and with one 

 or two indistinct carinae above. The second 

 abdominal segment is striolated, the striations 

 deep, widely separated; in the centre is a long 

 deep depression extending to near the middle; 

 segments 3-5 equal, the sixth longer, seventh if 

 anything longer than sixth. The abdomen is 

 broad and flat, and is somewhat longer than 

 the thorax. Wings flavo-hyaline, nearly as long 

 as the abdomen and thorax united; the nervures 

 are testaceous.

Belyta forticornis, sp. nov. 

 Black, pilose, antennae (except the apical 7 joints, which are 

 fuscous) and legs ferruginous; the base of abdomen and 

 petiole piceous. 



The second and third joints of the antennae are 

 narrow at the base, broad and truncated at the 

 apex; joints 4-10 moniliform, 11-14 wider, much 

 broader than long ; the third is double the length of 

 the fourth; the last is conical, double the length 

 of fourteenth. Prothorax largely produced ; finely 

 rugose; a large oblong fovea in the centre. The 

 sides of mesonotum are depressed; scutellar fovea 

 oval, large, deep; scutellum separated from the rest 

 of the notum by the sides becoming depressed, the 

 raised hinder portion narrowing towards the apex.
