1'2 SPOLIA ZEYLANICA. 



longer than thick. Parapsidal furrows and the transverse furrow 

 at the base of scutellum wide and deep. Post-scutellum with a 

 deep, semi-circular fovea in the centre at the base. A deep trans- 

 verse furrow at the base of the metanotum, widened laterally and 

 bounded at the apex by a stout keel. Metanotum with a stout keel 

 down the middle, stoutly transversely striated ; the apical slope 

 finely transversely striated in the middle. Pro- and meso-pleurae 

 smooth ; a deep oval fovea near the centre of the mesopleurae, 

 with a smaller one below ; shortly beyond the middle is a deep 

 depression finely striated in the centre, rounded below, where it 

 is wider than it is above. Metapleurse finely, closely striated. 

 First abdominal stoutly keeled in the middle at the base and with 

 a narrower keel on either side ; the apex testaceous. Fore legs 

 and femora slender. Apical tooth of mandibles long, sharply 

 pointed, the others indistinct. Clypeus projecting, roundly 

 narrowed at the apex. Basal abscissa of radius straight, obli- 

 quely sloped ; the apical roundly curved. 



This is not a true Epyris ; but having only a single <$, I do not 

 care to found a new genus on it. It has practically only one 

 long tooth on the mandibles, and in the clypeus projecting at the 

 apex it differs from the typical species. 



Rhacoteleia, gen. no v. 



Sub-marginal nervure long, longer than the others united, 

 marginal nervure very short, half the length of the stigmal, which 

 has a knob at the end, the post marginal about three times the length 

 of stigmal branch. Antennai 13-jointed, the last six forming a 

 club. Mesonotum and scutellum flat, the parapsidal furrows 

 distinct, crenulated. Abdomen longish, longer than the head and 

 thorax united, convex above and below, the sides margined ; 

 sessile, the basal segment strongly striated, the striae distinct and 

 clearly separated ; the base of the second segment depressed, stout- 

 ly striated ; the base of the first clearly margined. Mesopleurae 

 largely and deeply excavated. Scutellum broader than long, 

 transverse at the base and apex, where there is a crenulated furrow. 

 The third abdominal segment is longer than the second and fourth, 

 which are about the same size. Antennae inserted immediately 

 over the mouth ; the scape long. Legs slender, all the tibiae one- 

 spurred, the basal joint of hind tibiae as long as the others united, 

 about three times longer than the second. Metanotum rugosely 

 punctured, shorter than the scutellum, depressed and transverse 

 at the apex. 



The head is large, rounded in front, transverse behind ; the 

 occiput margined ; temples wide ; ocelli in a triangle, the hinder
