  notum 
  closely 
  punctured, 
  thickly 
  covered 
  with 
  short, 
  

   black 
  hair 
  ; 
  the 
  middle 
  lobe 
  widely 
  depressed 
  at 
  the 
  base, 
  

   finely 
  furrowed 
  down 
  the 
  middle. 
  Scutellum 
  pyramidal, 
  

   but 
  not 
  sharply 
  so, 
  the 
  top 
  being 
  broadly 
  and 
  equally 
  

   rounded 
  ; 
  it 
  is 
  thickly 
  covered 
  with 
  short, 
  black 
  hair. 
  

   The 
  legs 
  are 
  coloured 
  like 
  the 
  thorax 
  ; 
  the 
  anterior 
  are 
  

   paler 
  at 
  the 
  base 
  ; 
  the 
  hinder 
  tibiae 
  and 
  tarsi 
  are 
  black, 
  

   except 
  the 
  apical 
  joint 
  of 
  the 
  tarsi. 
  Wings 
  smoky- 
  

   violaceous, 
  lighter, 
  of 
  a 
  more 
  yellowish 
  tinge, 
  before 
  the 
  

   stigma 
  ; 
  the 
  stigma 
  and 
  nervures 
  black, 
  the 
  costa 
  ferru- 
  

   ginous. 
  The 
  apical 
  half 
  of 
  the 
  abdomen 
  black 
  ; 
  the 
  

   apical 
  three 
  segments 
  entirely 
  so. 
  

  

  The 
  3 
  is 
  similar 
  to 
  the 
  ? 
  ; 
  the 
  middle 
  lobe 
  of 
  the 
  

   mesonotum 
  is 
  black 
  at 
  the 
  base. 
  

  

  The 
  following 
  species 
  may 
  constitute 
  the 
  type 
  of 
  a 
  

   new 
  genus 
  when 
  the 
  Indian 
  sawflies 
  have 
  been 
  properly 
  

   studied. 
  

  

  Head 
  large, 
  wider 
  than 
  the 
  mesonotum, 
  behind 
  dis- 
  

   tinctly 
  and 
  sharply 
  margined 
  or 
  keeled. 
  Eyes 
  parallel, 
  

   not 
  converging 
  below 
  ; 
  separated 
  by 
  a 
  clear 
  space 
  from 
  

   the 
  base 
  of 
  the 
  mandibles, 
  and 
  distinctly 
  margined. 
  

   Antennae 
  longish, 
  thickened 
  beyond 
  the 
  middle 
  ; 
  the 
  

   apex 
  attenuated 
  ; 
  the 
  third 
  joint 
  not 
  much 
  longer 
  than 
  

   the 
  fourth. 
  Mandibles 
  with 
  only 
  one 
  long 
  apical 
  tooth. 
  

   Wings, 
  body 
  and 
  legs 
  as 
  in 
  TentJiredo. 
  The 
  accessory 
  

   nervure 
  in 
  hind 
  wings 
  interstitial. 
  

  

  It 
  will 
  be 
  seen 
  that 
  it 
  differs 
  from 
  TentJiredo, 
  as 
  

   defined 
  by 
  Konow, 
  in 
  the 
  eyes 
  not 
  converging 
  beneath, 
  

   and 
  in 
  not 
  reaching 
  to 
  the 
  base 
  of 
  the 
  mandibles, 
  in 
  which 
  

   respects 
  it 
  agrees 
  with 
  Rliogogastera, 
  but 
  it 
  differs 
  from 
  

   that 
  genus 
  in 
  having 
  the 
  antennae 
  much 
  longer 
  and 
  in 
  

   the 
  humeral 
  cellule 
  in 
  the 
  hind 
  wings 
  not 
  being 
  appen- 
  

   diculate.
