metaepimeron and malar space, etc. It is probably more closely 

 allied to Sciapteryx Stethens, but may be distinguished from that 

 genus by the short malar space, the simple anterior calcaria. The 

 following characters are given to supplement the original description. 

 Belongs to Tenthredinini; slender; inner margins of eyes nearly par- 

 allel and at the level of the antennae separated by a distance greater 

 than the length of eye; clypeus emarginate; malar space line like; 

 head and thorax more or less coarsely punctured; third antennal 

 joint longer than fourth; occiput not carinate; both calcarium of 

 anterior tibiae simple; claws cleft; hind basitarsis subequal in length 

 with the following joints; hind coxae of normal size; metepimeron 

 not especially large; propodeum divided; two discal cells in hind wing; 

 anellan cell petiolate. 



BELDONEA LUBENS (Konow).

A single female of this species was collected at Shillong, 5,000 feet 

 (about 1,515 meters), India, June or July, 1918, by T. B. Fletcher. 



JERMAKIA DENTISTERNA, new species. 



There is much about this species which recalls Dipteromorpha 

 rotundiventris (Cameron), and it may possibly be the female of that 

 species, but it does not answer the description entirely, and it seems 

 best to place it in Jermdkia where it would run in Konow. The 

 description of DiptermorpTia and even my manuscript notes do not 

 include enough information to satisfactorily place the genus. The 

 species here described differs from the published description of 

 DiptermorpTia rotundiventris in the black thorax (perhaps secondary 

 sexual), uniformly colored wings, and other minor color characters. 

 It also differs in the position of the nervulus as figured by Kirby. 



Female. — Length, 15.5 mm.; length of anterior wing, 16 mm.; 

 length of antenna, 8 mm. Entire head shining, polished; anterior 

 margin of labrum broadly rounded; anterior margin of clypeus 

 broadly, arcuately emarginate, the lateral angles sharp; supraclypeal 

 suture obsolete; middle fovea deep, rectangular in outline; ocellar 

 depression cordate in outline but not sharply defined below; antenna; 

 furrows complete; postocellar furrow wanting; postocellar line less 

 than half as long as ocellocular; antennae long, filiform the third 

 joint slightly longer than fourth, the following decreasing in length; 

 pronotum, prescutum, scutum, and anterior part of scutellum pol- 

 ished; prescutum subgibbous, with a deep median furrow; scutellum 

 pyramidal, the posterior part punctured; mesopisternum polished 

 but also with large, distinct, separated punctures, the anterior margin
