102 SPOLIA ZEYLANICA. 



surface stoutly striated. Abdominal petiole smooth, shining, 

 impunctate. Ovipositor long, as long as the apical three segments 

 united. Base of ilageilum slender, the joints elongate ; occiput 

 deeply, widely, roundly incised, sloping above obliquely from the 

 ocelli. Disco-cubital nervure angled in the middle, broken there by 

 a stump of a nervure ; the two abscissae straight, oblique, not 

 rounded. 



The head is large ; the eyes large, projecting, distinctly narrowed 

 below ; the malar space moderate. Apex of clypeus transverse ; 

 labrum hidden. Scutellum longer than broad, rounded at the base 

 and apex. Face flat, only slightly dilated in the middle, not 

 separated from the clypeus. Abdomen with the second and third 

 segments punctured ; longer than the head and tiiorax united, its 

 apex acutely pointed. 



Allied, in some respects, to Cillimus and Exephanes. It has the 

 long, projecting ovipositor of the latter, but not its filiform antennae ; 

 but Exephanes has not the scutellum stoutly keeled ; CilUmits has 

 the ovipositor short, has the face tumid, not narrowed behind the 

 eyes ; the clypeus is armed at the apex with a small tooth and the 

 scutellum short.
