more finely sculptured thau face; front opaque, more distinctly punctured. 

 Cheek more shining, with fine separated punctures, especially above. Clypeus 

 shining, with a few distinct punctures. Dorsulum closely, distinctly punctured 

 and subopaque anteriorly, posteriorly the punctures are more separated, the sur-

 Scutellum distinctly punctured ; metapleurse, fiuelv, closely and uniformly punc- 

 tured. Metapleurae with large separated punctures on a shining surface, on 

 each side the margins rugulose, medially rugose. Wings hyaline with a dark 

 cast. Xervures and stigma dark brown. Transverse median and basal uervures 

 iuterstitial. second recurrent nervure received by the areolet far beyond the 

 middle, areolet almost a right-angled triangle. First dorsal segment somewhat 

 coarsely, longitudinally sculptured, subopaque, the remaining segments sub- 

 opaque, more moderately sculptured, apical segments almost polished. 



Black. Clypeus dirty yellow, a spot on mandibles, a line from face to front 

 bordering the eyes; yellow. Femora, tibiae, and all dorsal segments except basal

Batliycetes ui<li:i n. sp. — Face and thorax finely punctured, metanotum 

 coriaceous and uniform, ridge separating it from the nietapleurse prominent. 



9 Length 10 mm. Face and clypeus fused, the former convex, medially sep- 

 arated from the clypeus by a kind of excavation ; clypeus with a few distinct 

 punctures, the face with very small punctures, larger and wider apart on the bor- 

 ders, but so close on the elevation as to give an opaque appearance ; front shining, 

 sparsely punctured. Cheek almost polished, indistinctly punctured. Dorsulum 

 faintly impressed anteriorly, more distinctly raised longitudinally, closely punc- 

 tured, subopaque. Mesopleurse with the anterior corner formed by a distinct 

 though slender longitudinal carina, with close small punctures almost uniformly 

 arranged over the whole surface, which is shining. Metanotum opaquely sculp- 

 tured laterally, obscurely, transversely, stiate and shining, medially. The raised 

 line separating the metapleurse from the metanotum curved, not gently angu- 

 late near the spiracles, the metapleurse sculptured much like the mesopleurse. 

 Wings hyaline with a brownish cast, nervures chiefly brown, stigma paler. First 

 dorsal segment somewhat shining, microscopically sculptured, more roughened 

 on the sides, spiracles somewhat raised. The rest of the dorsal segments uni- 

 formly finely sculptured, the apical ones especially shining. Ovipositor about as 

 long as distance from scutellum to apex of abdomen. 



Black. Border on clypeus, madibles except apex, a line on anterior lateral 

 margin of dorsulum, tegulie, a spot aside and a line below base of the wings, 

 part of four anterior coxa? and trochanters and extreme base of posterior tibia? ; 

 yellow. Anterior pair of legs (excepting apical tarsal joint and claws which are 

 brownish), middle pair of legs (excepting all tarsal joints, which are more or less 

 brown), posterior coxa? and trochanters entirely, and the femora interiorly ; more 

 or less rufous. The posterior tibiae and tarsi are deep brown. The flagellum espe- 

 cially near the apex brownish.
