No. 2361. DESCRIPTIONS OF NEW SAW F LIES— ROHWER. 101 



TENTHREDELLA NIAPA, new species. 



This species seems to be allied to Tenihredclla casta (Konow), but 

 the markings of the abdomen are different. 



Female. — Length, 10 mm. Labrum long, polished, obtusely 

 pointed apically; clypeus long, the apical margin deeply arcuately 

 emarginate, lobes broad, rounded apically; antennal furrows com- 

 plete; ocelli in an equilateral triangle, the anterior one yellow, the 

 lateral ones black; postocellar area flat, but little wider than long; 

 head shining, hardly receding behind eyes; antennae rather short, 

 slightly thicker apically, the third joint nearly as long as four plus 

 five; mesonotum shining almost without punctures; post-tergite 

 (scutellum appendage) smooth, without a median ridge and with 

 only a few punctures; mesepisternum coriaceous; sheath straight 

 above and below, apex rounded; venation usual. Yellowish (prob- 

 ably green in life); apices of mandibles, antennae beyond scape, 

 circular sport above antennae and extending to occuput (except 

 postocellar area), anterior dorsal margin of pronotum, prescutum 

 (except lateral margins), scutum, narrow mark on mesepisternum, 

 basal middle of all tergites, narrow line on femora (abbreviated on 

 anterior pair) above, black; sides and sternum paler than dorsum; 

 wings hyaline; venation black; costa and stigma yellowish. 



Type locality. — Dungagali, Hazara District, British India. 



Described from one female collected May, 1915, by T. B. Fletcher, 

 at an altitude of 6,000 feet (about 1,818 meters). 



Type.— Cat. No. 22890, U.S.N.M. 



MACROPHYA LUCIDA, new species. 



In Enslin's review 3 of the Palaearctic species of Macrophya this 

 new species runs to opposite Smith, but the absence of dense punc- 

 tures and differences in color will serve to separate it from that 

 species. 



Female. — Length, 9 mm. Anterior margin of the labrum broadly 

 rounded; anterior margin of the clypeus deeply sub-squarely emarg- 

 inate, the lobes broad, rounded apically; supraclypeal area fiat, 

 shining; antennal furrows broad, shallow, complete; median fovea 

 broad, shallow and not sharply defined; frons shining, with only a 

 few punctures laterally but medianly the punctures are more nu- 

 merous ; vertical and postocellar furrows well defined ; postocellar area 

 flat, fully twice as wide as long; postocellar line but little more than 

 half as long as the ocellocular line; head not receding behind the 

 eyes; vertex and orbits shining, very sparsely punctured; antennae 

 as long as head and thorax, slightly thicker apically, third joint but 

 little shorter than four plus five which are subequal; mesonotum 

 shining, with small, well separated punctures; mesepisternum opaque,
