31. LEUCOSPIS BENGALENSIS, new species. 



This species resembles guzeratensis Westwood, in having two prom- 

 inent transverse carinae on the pronotum, dark wings with purple 

 iridescence, hind coxa without a spur and metanotum broadly 

 rounded at apex; but differs in shorter ovipositor, lower occipital 

 carina, shape of hind femora and in color markings. 



Female. — Length, 11.2 mm. A soniber species with carinate prono- 

 tum,^ dark tvinffs, hiiul coxa without spur and ovipositor rea.ching 

 three-fourths length of abdomen. 



Body black with following few yellow markings: apical two- 

 thirds of scape beneath ; a transverse spot near center of pronotum, 

 the hind margin of which covers the front carina; small spot on 

 upper corner of hind coxa at base; narrow stripe on apical half of 

 hind tibiae above; small spots on sides of fifth tergite. (In para- 

 type specimen spots on hind coxae are wanting and there are two 

 small dots near hind margin of sixth tergite, one on either side 

 of median line.) 



Face black covered with silvery pubescence; line from median 

 ocellus to level of clypeus 1.1 times interocular space; malar space 

 about one-third length of eye; clypeus sinuate at edge with small 

 tooth in median line; spur between scapes carinate; postocellar 

 space 1.6 times ocellocular; vertex broad; median and lateral ocelli 

 visible from behind; occipital carina distinct medianly disappear-

 stouter toward apex. 



Pronotum transversely rugoso-punctate, about the same length 

 as mesoscutum, with two distinct carinae parallel to its hind mar- 

 gin which is also carinate; while both carinae are prominent in 

 median line, the anterior extends only a short distance laterally, the 

 posterior about three- fourths the distance to margin; scutellum
