CASINARIA. — SIXOPIIORUS. 477 



extending beyond the anus. Legs dull black, with the anterior 

 tarsi, tibife and apices of their femora white; intermediate tibiae 

 darker ; hind tibiie white only at their extreme base, tlieir tarsi 

 black throughout. Wings ample and hyaline, with the stigma and 

 tegular black, and radix testaceous ; areolet not small, distinctly 

 petiolate and emitting the recurrent nervure from slightly beyond 

 its centre ; second discoidal cell apically acute ; basal nervure 

 postfurcal ; nervellus entire and not intercepted. 



Length 10 millim. 



Punjab : Simla, ix. 98 {Col. 2snrse). 



Type in Col. Nurse's collection. 



Evidently closely allied to C. (tlhijpalins, G-rav., but differing 

 slightly in its larger size, the position ot" the second recurrent 

 nervure, in the colouring of the legs, and in having the apical 

 radial abscissa very distinctly longer than the basal. 



Described from a single female; but I am inclined to regard 

 t\\"o males, in the Calcutta Museum, captured by Brunetti at 

 Dai'jiliug, on 20th October, 1905, as representing the alternate 

 sex of this species. They differ only in having the mandibles 

 and the anterior trochanters entirely white, with the metanotum 

 longitudinally bicarinate ; the antennae are nearly as long as the 

 bodv.

Gexotype, (S'. thuringiacus, 8clun. 



Head transverse and distinctly constricted posteriorly ; eves 

 glabrous, internally parallel and but slightly emarginate next the 

 aerobes ; clypeus apically rounded, with small lateral foveje. 

 Antennae slender, longer than half the body and apically at- 

 tenuate. Thorax but little longer than high ; metanotum centrally 

 impressed, with obsolete basal cariu;e only : spiracles small and 

 circular. Abdomen not strongly compressed apically ; postpefiole 

 distinct and a little longer than broad, double the breadth of the 

 petiole ; second segment, slightly longer, and thii'tt not longer, 

 than broad; terebra about half the length of the abdomen. Let^s 

 not very slender, with the tibias, externally spinulose ; calcaria 

 elongate, reaching centre of metatarsus; claws distinctly 

 pectinate. AVings with the radius but slightly angled above the 

 areolet, with its apical abscissa distinctly the longer and apically 

 straight ; areolet petiolate, emitting the recurrent nervure 

 beyond its centre ; basal nei'vure continuous, and the lower angle 

 of second discoidal cell acute ; anal nervure emitted but slightly 

 below centre of the bracliial cell ; nervellus obsoletely geniculate 

 below its centre, but not intercepted. 



Range. Central and Southern Europe, Egypt, Himalayas.
