and legs to K. tibialis, but is a larger and stouter species. In' 

 tibialis the transverse median nervure has a more distinct slope, 

 and as a consequence the podiscoidal cellule is wider in front, 

 which is not the case with the pi^esent species ; the occiput is not 

 transvei'se as it is in tibialis, but is broadly, roundly incised ; the 

 abdomen is broader, more dilated in the middle ; the apex of the 

 clypeus projects more at the base and more especially at the apex, 

 the centre therefore appearing more depressed ; the hyaline spot& 

 in the wings are larger ; the 1st cubital cellule is almost entirely 

 hyaline ; there is a large cloud, longer than broad, dilated at the 

 base, and extending beyond the middle of the cellule &n the outer 

 side of the recurrent nervure and continuous with the cloud in 

 the 1st cubital cellule and may be continued to the apex of the 

 wing, or separated from a spot at the outer edge ; the cloud at the 

 the 2nd recurrent nervure is large and is continued beyond the 

 cubitus ; the keel on the 2nd abdominal segment is united to the 

 raised lateral lobe and without a distinct depression. There is a 

 distinct oblique depression on the sides of the 3rd and 4th seg- 

 ments ; in hJ. tibialis on the 3rd only, 



Trichiobracon rufus, sp. nov. 



Rufous, the vertex, front, face immediately below the antennae, 

 the outer orbits to the bottom of the eyes and antennas, black ; 

 wings fuscous, the costal cellule in front, the 1st cubital cellule 

 except for a triangular cloud at the apex in front, a triangular 

 cloud in the apex of the 1st discoidal cellule and a larger, more 

 irregular one in front of the recurrent nervure, the greater part of 

 the costal cellule in front and a large cloud shortly beyond the 

 middle, hyaline ; the stigma and the nervures, except in the 

 hyaline parts, black. Body covered thickly with white pubescence.

Antennae covered with a black pile, thickest and longest at 

 the base. Face and clypeus rugosely punctured ; the lower inner 

 orbits punctured ; the depressed front furrowed in the middle. 

 Mandibles, except at the base, and palpi black. Pro- and meso- 

 thorax smooth ; the sutures sti'iated ; the furrow on the propleura? 

 with stout keels ; their lower part closely, strongly, irregularly 

 striated ; the 2nd less strongly striated ; the furrow surrounding 

 the raised central part at the base wide, and with distinct, clearly
