apex, the metapleurye below the keel, pale rufous ; the apical nine or 

 ten joints of the antennae (but not the apical appendicular joints), a 

 white line on the sides of the face close to the eyes, commencing 

 above their middle and extending to the clypeus, becoming gradually 

 wider and more irregular below. Legs black ; the four anterior 

 tibige and femora white in front and the base of their tarsi of a more 

 obscure white colour. "Wings hyaline ; there is a brownish narrow 

 cloud along the transverse basal and the transverse median nervure ; 

 the nervures and stigma black. On the sides of the furrow on the 

 second abdominal segment is a small irregular white spot ; the apex 

 of the fourth and the whole of the fifth, sixth, and seventh segments 

 are white above. There is a broad white band near the apex of the 

 ovipositor. 5 . 



Length 12 mm. ; terebra 10 mm.

Covered rather closely with white pubescence. Fi'ont closely, the 

 vertex more sparsely punctured. Pace strongly closely reticulated ; 

 the oral depression irregulai-ly striated. Labrum dirty white, darker 

 in the middle above. The frontal keel is bordered by strige ; outside 

 these above is a smooth, shining space. Pro- and mesothorax 

 strongly, but not very closely punctured ; the under side of the 

 propleurse reticulated ; the apex of the mesopleui-as smooth. Median 

 segment more closely and strongly punctured ; the punctures on the 

 metanotum running into reticulations. Basal 3 abdominal segments 

 closely punctured ; the punctures on the second and third running 

 into reticulations ; the basal half of the fourth is irregularly reticu- 

 lated ; the other segments are smooth. Legs densely covered with 

 white pubescence ; the four anterior coxge are marked with white at

 CTENOTOMA, gen. nov. 



Abdomen petiolated, the post-petiole dilated ; the spiracles are 

 placed at the base of the apical third, i.e., at the base of the dilated 

 post-petiole. Abdomen smooth, without furrows; it is stout, some- 

 what compressed ; the ovipositor projects from the lower surface ; it 

 is as long as the apical two or three segments. Wings without an 

 areolet ; the recurrent nervure is received shortly beyond the trans- 

 verse cubital ; the transverse median nervure is received distinctly
