APIBiE. 



the apical three joints each in succession shorter than the preceding. 

 Thorax broad, orbicular or ovate; legs stout; in the female the 

 posterior tibial flattened with their apex above produced on the 

 inside of the basal joint of tarsi*; in the male posterior femora more 

 or less swollen, posterior tibiae flattened with tbeir apex beneath 

 produced ; fore wing with the radial cell long, the apex acute 

 in females, rounded in the males ; three cubital cells, the 2nd and 

 3rd subequal, the 2nd more or less quadrate, the 1st recurrent 

 nervure interstitial with the 2nd transverse cubital nervui'e, the 

 2nd recurrent nervure received very nearly at the apex of the 3rd 

 cubital cell. Abdomen broad at base, acutely conical at apex. 



Nothing is on record of the habits of the Indian species, but 

 they probably resemble those of Antlwpliora.

$ . Head above, the thorax, and abdomen densely, the face 

 below the base of the antenna) and the clypeus thinly pubescent ; 

 the last rugosely punctured, bearing a short medial vertical carina 



at base, the apex margined, and 

 just above it in the middle a small 

 bare triangular space, sometimes 

 slightly depressed and often re- 

 duced much in size ; the posterior 

 tibiae much flattened, and bare and 

 smooth on the inside, the apex pro- 

 duced over and on the inside of 

 the basal joint of the tarsi ; abdo- 

 men broad, acutely conical at apex. 

 Black ; the triangular spot on the 

 clypeus pale yellow ; pubescence 

 from hoary to fuscous-grey, turning to ferruginous tow-ards the 

 apex of the abdomen above ; on the oiitside of the intermediate 

 and posterior tibise and of all the tarsi it is very dense and 

 glittering bright ferruginous ; wings fusco-hyaline, nervures and 

 tegulae testaceous.

 t A key to the males only can be given, as the female of but one species is 

 known.
