finely punctured, dorsally the punctures become larger; abdomen 

 highly polished; sheath rather broad, straight above, convex below, 

 rounded apically; stigma long, nearly parallel-sided, oblique apically; 

 second cubital long, parallel-sided, receiving the recurrent a little 

 before the middle; third cubital fully five times as wide at apex as 

 at base, receiving the recurrent at basal third. Black, shining; 

 two spots on clypeus, labrum, mandibles, spot on lower posterior 

 orbit, small spot on inner superior orbit, narrow margin of pronotum, 

 margin of tegulae, apical margin of fourth tergite (much wider 

 laterally), yellounsh-vShite-, legs black, four anterior femora, tibiae 

 and tarsi beneath, posterior tibiae beneath, yellowish-white; wings 

 hyaline, venation black; head and thorax with long white hair. 



Type locality. — Kumaoa, Ramgarh, British India. 



Described from a single female collected at an altitude of 6,000 

 feet (about 1,818 meters), August, 1918, by T. B. Fletcher. 



Type.— Cat. No. 22888, U. S. N. M. 



CROMAPHYA, new genus. 



Genotype. — Cromaphya serricornis Rohwer. 



This genus belongs to the tribe Tenthredinini and allied to 

 Macrophya Dahlbon and Zalaguim Rohwer, resembling them in the 

 large metaepimeron, the flat front, etc., but may easily be distin- 

 guished from both of these as well as the other genera in the tribe by 

 the serrate antennae. The noncarinate orbits and occiput, and the 

 partly fused propodeum will separate it from Paramacrophya Forsius. 



Clypeus emarginate; antenna probably nine-jointed (wanting be- 

 yond eight), the apices of the third and following joints produced 

 so when seen from the side the flagellum is serrate, third antennal 

 joint much longer than the fourth; inner margin of eyes strongly 

 converging towards the clypeus; the distance between the eyes at 

 the antennae slightly less than the length of the eye; malar space 

 line-like; front as in Macrophya; posterior orbits narrower than the 

 diameter of the eyes rounded; occiput and orbits not carinate; 

 thorax much as in Macrophya; metaepimeron large, higher than the 

 metaepisterum, rectangular in outline, the posterior part with a 

 large oval-shaped area set off by a strong carina so as to form an oval 

 basin; legs normal; hind coxae not especially large; tibial spurs long; 

 hind basitarsus subequal in length with the following joints; claws 

 cleft; basal plates not divided, but with a median longitudinal fur- 

 row; abdomen normal; wings as in Macrophya but the contraction of 

 the anal cell is very short. 



CROMAPHYA SERRICORNIS, new species. 



Female. — Length, 10 mm. Labrum large, the anterior margin 

 slightly emarginate; clypeus deeply subsquarely emarginate the lobes 

 rounded, antennal furrows obsolete; postocellar areas defined lat-
