Hymenoptera Orientalis. 129 



I. NOTOGONIA PULCHRIPENNIS, Sp. IIOV. 



Nigra, sericea; inandibidis, tegulis, pedibus (coxis tro- 

 chanteribusque nigris) abdoviinisque bast late, nifis, alls 

 flavo-hyalinis, apice finnatis. Long. 12 mm. 



Antennae short, moderately thick ; the second joint half 

 the length of the third, the third and fourth subequal. 

 Head almost shining, the face densely covered with silvery 

 pubescence ; the vertex with a sparser and shorter pubes- 

 cence, which does not hide the surface ; alutaceous. There 

 is a somewhat triangular depression behind the hinder 

 ocelli ; a wide and deep furrow runs down from the anterior, 

 and the depressions on either side of it are deep, curved, 

 and broad. Clypeus not much convex, the apex slightly 

 depressed, and broadly rounded. Eyes at the top separated 

 by the length of the second and third joints united. 

 Thorax densely sericeous, alutaceous, the metathorax trans- 

 versely striolated, coarsely so at the apex; there is a shallow 

 furrow in the centre of the mesonotum, and there is a 

 narrower and deeper furrow on the apex of the metanotum. 

 The pile on the mesonotum inclines to golden ; the meta- 

 thorax bears a longish white pubescence. Abdomen longer 

 and narrower than the thorax, sericeous ; the pygidial area 

 rufous ; longitudinally punctured ; covered with a silvery 

 pubescence ; the sides keeled, the apex rounded, and bearing 

 stiff bristles. Legs moderately sericeous ; the bristles and 

 calcaria blackish to fuscous ; metatarsal brush silvery. The 

 second cubital cellule is one-third the length of the third at 

 the top, and somewhat less than the space bounded by 

 the recurrent nervures.
