 along dorsal line to about middle of sixth tergite, then is sharply de- 

 pressed toward apex. Groove of ovipositor reaches base of sixth seg- 

 ment, while ovipositor itself reaches only three-fourths length of same 

 segment.

13. LEUCOSPIS INDIENSIS, new species. 



This species resembles s'lmUh Enderlein, male, but differs in having 

 a faint transverse carina on the pronotum, no smooth area in middle 

 of the mesonotum, silver pubescence on face, deeply fuliginous wings 

 and no yellow markings on scutellum, mesonotum, or hind coxae. It 

 differs from similis Enderlein, var. feminhia Strand in color mark- 

 ings, slightly longer ovipositor and in size and arrangement of teeth 

 on under side of hind femora. 



Female. — Length 10.5 mm. .4 slender hlack speeles with lohitlsh 

 markings; a conspicuous polished spot on propodeum; ovipositor 

 about one-half length of ahdomen; winr/s fuliginous. 



Body black with whitish markings as follows : narrow transverse 

 bands near front and hind margins of pronotum; smooth polished 

 median area on posterior half of propodeum ; two small triangular 

 spots on sides of second abdominal segment near hind margin ; a nar- 

 row band near hind margin of sixth segment, and two lines on upper 

 side of apical segment near median line; short narrow stripe near 

 apex on upper side of front femora and along outer basal half of 

 tibiae; small spots at base and apex of middle tibiae; a broad band 

 irregular in width, which begins near basal tooth of hind femur and 

 extends across front and along upper margin to apex; a stripe along 

 outer side of hind tibiae from base to apex. 



Head a little wider than front margin of pronotum; base black, 

 densely covered with silvery pubescence, finely rugosely punctate ; eyes 

 sinuate; line from median ocellus to level of clypeus 1.1 times inter- 

 ocular; malar space nearly one-fourth length of eye; distance across 

 scapal furrows at base 2.3 times the distance from margin of furrow 

 to eye ; vertex broad, closely punctate with polished striated areas on 

 either side of lateral ocelli; postocular space 1.3 times ocellocular; 

 occipital carina distinct medianly, disappearing behind eyes; antennae 

 12-segmented, scape twice as long as broad; first funicular segment 

 1.5 times pedicel; third, fourth, and fifth subequal, longer than wide, 

 rest becoming stouter. 



Pronotum transversely rugosely punctate, with one faint transA'.erse
