head beueath and 



some small obscure tubercles on anterior disk 

 stei-num very thickly finely pilose. 



Length excl. tegra S & 2 10^ to 12 : exp. tegm. 14 millim. 



Hab. Nilgiri Hills (Hampson): Utakamand {Coll. Dist.). 



Genus GURAWA, nov. 



Type, 0. vexillum, Dist. 



Distribution. Sikhim. 



Body short and broad; vertex broad, subtriangular, flat, a little 

 depressed at basal area, lateral margins oblique and almost in 

 a line with the outer margins of the eyes ; ocelli situate near base, 

 nearer to eyes than to each other, eyes projecting behind beyond 

 the anterior angles of the pronotum ; face long, narrow, flattened, 

 transversely impressed beneath base, narrower at apex than at 

 base, more than twice as long as clypeus ; pronotum transverse,

shorter than vertex, centrally finely carinate, all the margins 

 nearly sti*aight, more than twice as broad as long ; scutellum 

 centrally depressed, transversely impressed before apical area, its 

 apex acute ; legs of moderate length, the posterior tibiae thickly 

 finely spinulose ; tegmina broad, passing the abdominal apex, 

 apical areas short, three in number, clavus of moderate size, claval 

 vein curved. 



This genus has a considerable resemblance to Eapeliv, placed by 

 writers (Puton, Melicliar, Edwards) in the Acocephaliiw. The 

 ocelli are often difficult to distinguish, but their position near the 

 base of the vertex in Gurawa is a distinct feature, and in this 

 determination I was confirmed by the hymenopterists Col. Bingham 

 and Mr. Tm-ner, and by Edwd. Waterhouse, the coleopterist.
