NEW HYMENOPTERA FROM CEYLON. 153 
punctured, the second joint of the flagellum twice as long as the 
first and about equal in length to the third, the flagellum from the 
third joint opaque and very finely pubescent. Posterior ocelli more 
than twice as far from the eyes as from each other. Pronotum 
coarsely, but rather sparsely, punctured, the posterior margin very 
broadly smooth; mesonotum very sparsely punctured; scutellum 
sparsely punctured, very broadly rounded at the apex. Propleura 
and metapleura finely and closely obliquely striated, mesopleura 
finely and very sparsely punctured. Median segment as long as the 
mesonotum and scutellum combined, subopaque, very minutely 
punctured, the three carine near together, the median one almost 
obsolete, the two lateral ones nearly parallel, a little nearer together 
at the apex than at the base, the apex distinctly margined, the 
posterior truncation almost vertical. Abdomen shining, very 
sparsely punctured, most sparsely on the second segment, the first 
segment rounded at the base, the second segment with a transverse 
longitudinally striated groove at the base; the sixth segment 
rounded at the apex, coarsely punctured, and with long sparse 
pubescence at the base, smooth at the apex. Second recurrent 
nervure received at about two-thirds from the base of the second 
cubital cell. 
Black, with whitish pubescence ; calcaria fusco-ferruginous ; 
wings pale fusco-hyaline, nervures fuscous. 
Length, 13 mm. 
é. Differs from the female by the usual sexual characters; more 
closely punctured, the clypeus incised at the apex ; posterior ocelli 
only half as far again from the eyes as from each other; the second 
joint of the flagellum distinctly shorter than the third, median 
segment in the middle shorter than the mesonotum, very feebly and 
broadly emarginate posteriorly, the three carine distinct, the two 
outer ones a little nearer together at the apex than at the base. 
Radial cell narrowly rounded at apex, extending beyond the apex 
of the second cubital cell; stigma rather large, nearly three times 
as long as broad. : 
Black, wings subhyaline, tinged with fuscous on the apical half 
and with violet reflections. 
Length, 8 mm. 
Hab.—Pattipola, Ceylon (Wickwar), 1 61%; Matale (Braine).

This is a larger and more sparsely punctured species than consueta, 
Sm., the sculpture of the propleura is different, and the first ab- 
dominal segment is more strongly rounded at the base. The three 
carine on the median segment are all clearly defined in consueta, 
and the colour of the wings is different, though somewhat 
variable.
