Thorax. Pronotuin entire, but with a deep concave membranous area anteriorly ; 

 posterior edge gently and evenly concave, the free striate margin expanded abruptly 

 at the extreme sides into a subtriangular head ; spiracle not greatly salient. Medianly 

 and anteriorly the sclerite is bare, but at each side posteriorly towards the expansion 

 of the striate margin are 6-7 short bristles in two rows, and about a dozen more round 

 the spiracle. Scutum bare, except for one minute bristle on each side near the furrow 

 at one-third before the suture. Parapsides with six bristles. Scutellum and meso-

sternum each with bristles 3-4 : 3-4. Propodeon (fig. 3, d) with four moderate bristles 

 beyond the spiracle and one (occasionally two) minute near the posterior end of the 

 spiracle on the inner (admedian) aspect. Metasternum intumescent on each side of 

 the mid line, its surface raised in minute chitinous points. 



Forewing (fig. 3, c, c^) just over 1 mm. in length, two and a quarter times as long 

 as broad, bare on about the basal fourth. 



Legs. Fore coxa (2:1) with a longitudinal row of about 24 long bristles, which 

 form a fringe on inner aspect ; femur (17 : 8) about one-third longer than the coxa ; 

 tibia over twice as long as broad and equalling in length the breadth of the femur, 

 bearing at the apex antero-dorsally two teeth, with ventrally a short chitinous pro-
