ICI[j;KUMO>"li).1::. 



slender, with the valvulae cbsoletely pilose. Legs flavous, with 

 the anterior coxio and trochanters and most oi" their tarsi in- 

 fuscate ; hind coxa; and trochanters (except at base), apices 

 of tibia) and femora and tarsi, nigrescent; hind tibia? sinuate 

 before the base, the front ones with five ferruginous internal 

 spines and a pectiniform row" at the apex. Winijs hyaline, Mith 

 the radix and teguUe white; costa and stigma piceous: radius 

 hardly curved; areolet entirely wanting; second recurrent of 

 lower Mings very strongly postfurcal, emitting tlie nerveilus from 

 its upper fifth. 



Leiujtli 13-14 millim. 



Tins species is much smaller than the broadly red E. strigosa 

 and has no metanotal impression ; it is more closely allied to 

 >S'. alhitarsis, but all the abdominal segments are apically \\hite, 

 the petiole is not trans-rugose, only the apices of the hind femora 

 are nigrescent, and the terebra is fully as long as the body. The 

 abdomen of the S is distinctly compressed. 



SiKKiM ( Bingham, type ). A ssam : Mahjain, Kliasi Hills, 1000- 

 3000 ft., V. 1905 (Pusa coll.). 



Type in the British Museum. 



The $ in the Pusa collection has the central mesonotal lobe 

 laterally pale in front. A mutilated female in the ]Vational Col- 

 lection, from the Northern Khasi Hills, has the terebra shorter 

 than the abdomen, but I cannot satisfy myself that it is not 

 broken. 



37. Eugalta vittata, sp. n. 



$ . A black and white species, with the scutellum entirely pale 

 and the femora alone rufescent ; terebra retlexed and distinctly 

 longer than the body. 



Lengtli 15 millim. 



This species is so closely allied to E. linearis as to need no 

 detailed description ; therefrom it may at once be kno\\n by its 

 slightly larger and distinctly stouter conformation ; the immaculate 

 black scape; broadly Mhite frontal orbits and two discal mesonotal 

 vittaj ; the evenly and closely punctate metathorax, Mhich is not 

 at all scabriculous ; bright flavous scutellum and postscutellum ; 

 the broader stramineous apices of all the abdominal segments, of 

 which the first is basally immaculate and the fifth apically strongly 

 emarginate ; the strongly reflexed terebra, which is fully a sixth 

 longer than the whole body ; the entirely immaculate trochanters 

 and anterior coxa) ; the hind coxae black, with only the base 

 broadly strannneous above, whereas in E. linearis they are stra- 

 mineous with the upper side (except basally) black ; by the extreme 

 base of the hind tibiae being abruptly black, and only the apical 

 half of their last tarsal joint black ; and by the radial nervure of 

 the hind wing being distinctly shorter before the second recurrent. 



Prom all other species of this genus it is instantly known by 

 the much greater space between the reception by the median
