a triangular tooth. Head and body closely, rather strongly punctured. 

 Metanotum bordered by an oblique crenulated furrow, and down the 

 middle is a wider punctured furrow. Behind the yellow line on the 

 pronotum is a transverse ridge or keel, between which, almost halfway 

 between it and the apex, is a narrower curved black one. The first 

 abdominal segment is twice longer than wide, is of equal width and is 

 clearly separated ; its apex is depressed and has the punctures more 

 clearly and widely separated ; the rest of the abdomen is longish pyri- 

 form. The last ventral segment is depressed, bluntly rounded at the 

 apex ; the dorsal segment on either side of the apex of the ventral also 

 roundly projects, but not so much as the ventral. The outer side of 

 the hind femora are more closely and finely punctured than the rest ; 

 except the basal, the femoral teeth are large and clearly separated. 

 Post-scutellum broadly rounded. The first joint of flagellum longer 

 than the following, clearly longer than thick, the others not longer 

 than thick. Malar space as long as the pedicle and following joint. 

 Cheeks distinctly converging. 



In the table in Schletterer's Monograph of Leucospis (Berl. 

 Ento. Zeits. xxxv., 168-170), this species runs near to L. 

 intermedia. The femoral teeth are more like those of L. 

 leucotelus and L. guzeratensis, as figured by Schletterer, /. c. 

 pi. vi., than of L. intermedia, as shown on the same plate.

Black, shining with the following bright lemon-yellow markings: a 

 narrow line in the middle of the inner eye orbits, tegulae, broad lines, 

 widely separated, narrowed and rounded on the inner edges on the 

 sides (the black central part is narrower than them), on the base of 

 the second, third and fourth segments, the apices of the four front 

 femora all round broadly, and the front and upper part of them to 

 beyond the middle, a broad line on the front and upper apical two- 

 thirds of the hind femora, the line narrowed at the base, a small square 

 spot in the middle of the apex, a narrower line, rounded above, on 

 the lower edge, a mark, larger than that on the outerside, on the inner 

 side, close to the apex, rounded above and below, transverse at the 

 apex, the base roundly incised, and the apical third of the tibia?, bright 

 lemon-yellow ; the tarsi yellow suffused with fulvous. Head and thorax 

 covered with longish white pubescence. Wings hyaline, the nervures 

 and stigma black. Hind femora with sixteen small teeth closely pressed 

 together. Wings hyaline, the nervures black, c? . Length 7 mm. 



Abdomen long, gradually narrowed from the second segment, twice 

 the length of the thorax, the petiole short, not much longer than broad.
