I have also corrected my previous error concerning the interpretation of zonatus, 

 mangiferae and persicae, after seeing typical specimens of this last species. Finally 

 I have added six new species, one of which has already been described,* and another 

 known hitherto only from Sumatra. 

 The Indian species can now be distinguished as follows : — 



1 (22). Scutellum with a single pair of bristles, the apical one. 



2 (17). Two pairs of lower fronto-orbital bristles. 



3 (16). Vertical, thoracic and scutellar bristles yellow ; face always with black 

 spots ; thorax without yellow middle stripe ; third abdominal segment of male 

 cihated ; wings without dark spot on hind cross-vein. 



4 (9). Wings vnth well developed brown anal stripe and with complete brown 

 fore border ; first basal cell microscopically pubescent in the portion over the second 

 basal cell ; fore and hind tibiae blackened. 



5 (8). Thorax reddish on the disk, with or without black markings ; pleurae 

 reddish, the yellowish mesopleural stripe being sometimes margined with black ; 

 mesophragma reddish or partly black ; ovipositor reddish ; coxae of all the legs 

 reddish ; scutellum not spotted ; occiput reddish. 



6 (7), Back, pleurae and mesophragma altogether reddish, sometimes wdth a 

 black border on front side of mesopleural stripe ; frontal spots less distinct 



3. ferrugineus, F. 



7 (6). Back black, but reddish around the humeral calli, on the borders of the 

 suture and before scutellum ; mesopleural stripe always margined with black on 

 both sides ; mesophragma blackish on the sides . . 4. ferrugineus dorsalis, Hend. 



8 (5). Thorax, pleurae and mesophragma entirely black, with the usual yellow 

 markings ; ovipositor black ; hind coxae and trochanters black ; a distinct darkish 

 spot at end of the scutellum 5. ferrugineus incisus, Walk. 



9 (4). Anal stripe not distinct ; brown fore border incomplete ; first basal cell 

 wholly hyaline. 



10 (11). Scutellum of a pellucid brownish colour, with two more or less distinct 

 basal yellow spots ; brown fore border usually indistinct, and apical brown spot 

 wanting ; facial black spots broad ; fore and hind tibiae blackened ; species of 

 greater size . . . . • • • • • • • • 6. ferrugineus versicolor, var. n. 



11 (10). Scutellum altogether yellow ; wings with an isolated apical brown spot ; 

 facial spots smaller ; fore tibiae yellow ; hind tibiae yellow, at least in middle ; 

 species of smaller size. 



12 (13). Thorax entirely reddish, with the usual yellow^ markings and the meso- 

 pleural SLi'ipe rarely margined with black ; facial black spots of rounded shape, 

 isolated ; ovipositor red, with black end 7. zonatus, Saund. 



I 13 (12). Thorax mainly black on disk and pleurae with the usual yellow markings. 



14 (15). Facial black spots separated and rather broad; abdomen of male 



entirely black behind the second segment ; legs with the coxae entirely 



vellow' . • • • • • • • • • • • • • ^- tuhercnlatus, sp. n.
