2. Liacos fulvo picta, sp. nov. 



Black, the third and following segments, pale fulvous, 

 and covered with long fulvous hairs ; the wings deep 

 violaceous. Head and thorax marked with large, clearly- 

 separated punctures, the punctures on the head and pleurae 

 smaller than on the mesonotum ; the front above and 

 between the antennae raised ; the apex slightly incised ; the 

 surface longitudinally punctured ; and above it is an 

 impunctate border, which extends to near the middle of the 

 eye incision. The front ocellus in a pit. The mesonotum 

 has the furrows slightly curved, and extending from the 

 apex to a little beyond the middle ; the apex of the 

 scutellum is impunctate, and has a short longitudinal 

 channel in the centre at the apex. The median segment 

 shallowly concave at the apex ; the sides convex ; there 

 are two converging furrows in the middle ; the space on 

 the outer side of these at the base being impunctate. 

 Abdomen punctured like the thorax ; the hairs on the basal 

 two segments black ; and they have a bluish tinge ; the 

 base of the third segment is black, the black being dilated 

 in the middle. The antennas bare, dull black ; the joints 

 not dilated ; the third joint distinctly shorter than the 

 fourth. The second cubital cellule is dilated at the top ; 

 the transverse cubital nervures bulging out. 



Length, 25 mm. 



Allied to analis and crythrosoma, but easily known by 

 the fulvous, not red, apex of abdomen ; differing otherwise 

 in the head being much more strongly punctured, this 

 being also the case with the thorax. 



Hab. Barrackpore {Rothney).
