-■396. Tarytia empusa, sp. n. 



c?. A very small, testaceous species, with the head (except 

 ocelli), legs, second abdomiual segment, tegulas, and apex of 

 scutelluiu, flavous ; ocelli, antennae, disc of metanotum, and of 

 lirst and fourth segments, inf uscate ; basal metauotal area as long 

 as the areola. 



Length 3i millim. 



Bei^^gal : Pusa, ix. 06. 



Tij2'>6 in the Pusa collection. 



This species is too closely allied to T. nigromaculata to need a 

 detailed description ; besides its coloration and much smaller size, 

 it differs therefrom in the metanotum being much more nitidulous, 

 with all the areolar carinae stouter and u:ore clearly defined ; the 

 basal area is strongly elongate, the head less emarginate posteriorly, 

 the postpetiole gradually dilated from its centre and not abruptly 

 from its apical third, and the second segment is not more than 

 twice as lono; as broad.

Tanitia cariniscutis, Cameron,* Jom-n. Bombay Nat. Hist. Sec. 

 1907, p. 590(d). 



cJ . A clear pale testaceous species. Head (mutilated) with the 

 face and clypeus closely punctate. Antenna' infuscate, paler 

 below, with the scape flavous. Tliorax closely, but not strongly, 

 punctate ; metanotum with very distinct notauli ; petiolar area 

 distinct and triangular, with the lateral carina? broad and basally 

 coalescent ; areola feebly and sparsely striate, broad, roundly 

 constricted basally and subconstricted tox^'ards the apex, extending 

 to shortl}^ beyond the centre ; propleura? glabrous. Scutellum 

 closely punctate and laterally carinate to near its centre, strongest 

 at base. Abdomen with the basal half of the second and third 

 segments discally, and the latter laterally, black; anus black; 

 second segment discally finely and closely, base of third more 

 obsolerely, aciculate; valvulje broad, elongate and strongly exserted. 

 Legs immaculate. Wings clear hyaline, AA'ith the stigma and 

 nervures pale testaceous. 



Length 8 millim. 



Bombay : Deesa, vii. 98 (Col. Xurse). 



I'ype in Col. Nurse's collection. 



This species is said to be recognised by the scutellum being 

 carinate beyond its base, and by the large and distinctly defined 

 jietiolar area ; from the remaining four species it differs in its 

 elongate notauli, which extend strongly to the pin run through 

 the disc, in its shining and not very closely punctate scutellum 

 and in the second recurrent nervure being continuous with the 

 submarainal.
