parallel, not strongly convergent to\vai*ds the clypeus ; the clypeus 

 in consequence much broader, rounded anteriorly, black, not 

 yellow ; the legs more reddish ; and the wings hyaline, with a sub- 

 apical fuscous spot on the fore wing.

It is with some hesitation I have assigned a J from Bombay to 

 the 5 type of this species from Barrackpore ; but the sculpture 

 and markings are identical almost, notwithstanding the parallel 

 non-convergent eyes and the maculated fore wing.

5 . Head not so broad as the thorax, smooth, the front con- 

 cave, medially finely furrowed, and with a few scattered fine 

 punctures, obscurely pilose ; clypeus transversely oval, slightly 

 pubescent ; prouotum and abdomen smooth and shining ; meso- 

 notum very finely, rather irregularly, longitudinally striate ; scu- 

 tellum, postscutellum, and the enclosed triangular space at the base 

 of the median segment more coarsely longitudinally striate ; sides 

 and apex of the median segment pubescent, irregularly reticulate 

 beneath the pubescence ; pro- and mesopleurae with obscure longi- 

 tudinal fine striae. Brownish red, the abdomen, except at base 

 and apex of petiole and base of 2nd segment, much darker, almost 

 black ; the scape, a narrow line not reaching the vertex on the 

 inner orbits, the base of the mandibles, a broad stripe on the 

 posterior margin of the pronotum, the scutellum, a fine line pos- 

 teriorly on the postscutellum, a broad band on the apical margin 

 of the 2nd abdominal segment, a narrower, rather obscure line on 

 the apical margins of the 3rd and 4th, and a broader one on the 

 apical margin of the 5th, yellow ; wings light flavo-hyaline and 

 iridescent, the fore wing with a subapical lai'ge brown macula on 

 the costal margin ; tegulse and stigma testaceous, nervures brown.

The figure in the plate of the P. Z. S. has the petiole a trifle 

 too long. This species belongs to the section separated by Smith 

 as Megalomma.

2 . Head and thorax rather coarsely and abdo-

 punctured, the margins of the segments smooth ; 

 clypeus transverse, the front with a faintly im- 

 pressed verHcal line : the enclosed triangular 

 space at the base of the median segment coarsely 

 longitudinally striate, with the limiting furrows 

 well marked. Dull dark brown, the mandibles,
