PHYTOPHAaOUS AND PARASITIC HYMENOPTERA. 75 



strongly striated. Apex ol clypeus and of cheeks riifo-tesraceous. 

 Mandibles yellow, tinged with testaceous, the teeth black. Hind 

 ocelli separated from each other by a distinctly greater distance 

 than they are from the eyes, which very slightly converge above. 

 Middle lobe of mesonotum with some large scattered punctures ; 

 the lateral lobes more closely and finely punctured. Scutellum 

 smooth in the centre, the rest bearing large, round, clearly sepa- 

 rated punctures. Metanotum closely, reticulated, punctured. 

 Propleiirie smooth, the apex closely striated, the base below with 

 a few short keels. The dilated lower part of the mesopleurse with 

 shallow, clearly separated round punctures ; the edges crenulated. 

 Sternal process distinctly diverging : the branches stout and 

 rounded at the apex. Abdominal petiole longer than the rest of 

 the abdomen, its apical half with scattered punctures, which give 

 it a rough appearance. On the base of the hind coxae behind is a 

 smooth shining, raised, elongate Spdce, clearly defined from the 

 punctured parts and having at the apex a projecting keel, when 

 pressed together the coxse appear to be united. Tibiae minutely, 

 snarsely spinose. The long spur of the hind tibiae reaches to 

 shortly beyond the middle of the metatarsus, 



Pronotum transverse in the middle at the base; the sides 

 broadly rounded, slightly projecting. Cheeks not quite so long 

 as the antennal scape, parapsidal furrows deep, smooth clearly 

 defined. Apical abscissa of radius broadly rounded ; recurrent 

 nervure interstitial, as is also the transverse median; the cubitus 

 is largely buUated at the transverse cubital nervure. There is a 

 keel on the upper two-thirds of the face, down the centre. 



Allied to E. dolichopus, Schl. 



6. — Evania peradeniyce, sp. nov. 



Length 4 mm. 6. 

 Peradeniya, August. 



This species is black with the thorax red as in the preceding 

 species. The two may be separated thus : — 



Recurrent nervure interstitial, oral region rufous ut the apex, face 

 strongly striated and weakly keeled in the middle, hind coxse 

 rufous above, intcrstitialis. 

 Recurrent nervure received beyond the transverse cubital, oral region 

 entirely black, face weakly striated and strongly keeled in the 

 centre, hind coxse black above, peradeniyce. 



Scape and pedicle of antennae rufous. Scape of antennae not 

 much longer than the first joint of flagellum, which is, with the 

 pedicle, as long as the second. Face closely, weakly striated : a 

 stout keel on the upper two-thirds ; malar space rather strongly, 

 obliquely striated ; thickly covered with white pubescence.
