circuliu* flavous dot in tlie ai)ical angles of tlie six basal segments ; 

 Urst segment lu-arly twice as long as apically broad, glabrous and 

 shallowly sulcata to near its apex, w ith tlie pi'omineiit spiracles a 

 little before its centre ; second subquadrate and the following 

 transverse ; terebra stout and sliglitly longer than half the 

 abdomen. Legs clear red, with the posterior coxse and trochanters 

 entirely, and the hind tarsi apically, black. Wings as in the 

 preceding- species. 



Length lU-25 millim. 



The great variation in size is remarkable, and individuals of the 

 above variable diniensiojis, together with intermediate gradations, 

 are represented in the British Museum. 



I have drawn the above description of this abundantly distinct 

 species from a single male in the collection of the Oxford University 

 Museum, which is simply labelled " India." Excepting its lack of 

 a distinct petiolar metathoracic area, it might be placed in Allo- 

 theronia, Ashm. (Proc. U.S. Kat. Mus. 1900, p. 57) ; but if such 

 were the case, I should have no hesitation in synonymising that 

 genus with EcJitJiromorjiha, from which its author so inadequately 

 distinguishes it. 



This is a common species throughout the Australasian region, 

 "vvell known from both Australia and Tasmania; there are 

 examples in the British Museum collection from Queensland, 

 New South Wales (Sydney, &c.), Victoria, King Island, Tasmania 

 (Hobart, &c.), and a single female "bred from larva of large 

 Bomhgx " ; this is the first intimation we have had respecting its 

 hosts, and its detection in India— which certainly needs con- 

 firmation — extends its known distribution some thousands of 

 miles.

Genotype, //. hUineata, Cam. 



Head broader than long ; clypeus glabrous and impunctate, 

 basally discrete and apically obliquely depressed : eyes slightly 

 emarginate internally ; mandibles bidentate, with the teeth of 

 equal length. Apical flagellar joints subdilated apically. Meso- 

 3:!otum nitidulous, with the notauli obsolete ; nietanotum glabrous, 

 with neither areae nor carinse, its disc transversely strigose ; meta- 

 pleurae aciculate and apically stoutlj'- carinate ; spiracles large and 

 linear, of equal breadth throughout, rounded at both extremities, 

 and situated but slightly before the centre. Seutellum subde- 

 planate, longer than broad, and subconstricted ajncally, glabrous, 

 Avith the deeply discreted postscutellum impunctate. Abdomen 

 smooth, nitidulous and subimpunctate ; central segments obliquely 

 impressed laterally; the first basally impressed and txiberculate 

 above the spiracles beyond the centre ; gastrocceli of the second 

 oblique, narrow, glabrous, and extending sliglitly beyond the
