Hymeyioptera. 129 



First joint of flagellum not much shorter than the 2nd and 

 3rd united, the joints brownish below. Occiput transverse ; 

 temples small. Eyes curved on innerside ; malar space small : 

 ocelli in a curve, separated from each other by a distinctly greater 

 distance than they are from the eyes. Antennae clearly separated 

 from the clypeus, which has the apex transverse, labrum large, 

 broadly rounded, obliquely depressed. Pronotum nearly as long 

 as the mesonotum, not much narrowed towards the base ; its apex 

 broadly rounded. Parapsidal furrows complete, distinct. Scutel- 

 lum longish, narrowed slightly towards the apex, not much raised. 

 Median segment not quite so long as the mesonotum, transverse 

 behind ; a deep furrow in the centre of the apical two-thirds ; its 

 apex transverse ; apical slope somewhat steep ; the sides distinctly 

 toothed' at top and bottom. The 2nd cubital cellule is much 

 narrowed in front, being there the length of the space bounded by 

 the recurrent and the 2nd transverse cubital nervures, the latter 

 being straight, oblique ; the others rounded. Transverse basal in 

 forewings and accessory nervure in hind wings interstitial. Tibial 

 and tarsal spines short. Claws with a short stout tooth. Radial 

 cellule short ; apical abscissa of radius oblique, nearly as long as 

 the basal. 



The wings are not much longer than the abdomen ; the 

 antennas short ; mandibles with a long apical tooth ; the long spur 

 of hind tibiae reaches to the middle ; malar space small ; apex of 

 pronotum angularly emarginate ; the sides straight and oblique 

 from the middle. Front tarsi without a distinct long comb ; the 

 apices of the joints with stiff bristles. Apex of clypeus sinuate. 

 The labrum is larger than usual and is Ijroadly depressed in the 

 middle. 



This species fits in, fairly well, with the genus Schizosalius, 

 Sauss. 



Anoplius argenteo-decoratus, sp. nov. 



Black, the basal 2 segments of abdomen red ; the whole body 

 and legs thickly covered with silvery pile, which forms bands on 

 the abdominal segments ; wings hyaline, the fore darker in tint 

 than posterior, the apices of both smoky, the former from the end 

 of radial cellule ; 3rd cubital cellule much narrowed in front, 

 there half the length of space bounded by 2nd 'recurrent and 3rd 

 transverse cubital nervures ; 1st and 3rd transverse cubital nervure 

 obliquely bent in front. Female. 



Length 11 mm.
