lOfi SPOLIA ZEYLANICA. 



strongly, closely punctured, as are also the following three segments; 

 gastrocoeh deep, widely separated. Areolet 5-angled ; trans vei-se 

 median ner\nire interstitial ; disco-cubital nervure slightly broken. 

 There is a distinct malar space. The upper tooth of the mandible is 

 distinctly longer than the lower. Antennae shorter than the body. 

 Temples obliquely, roundly narrowed. Post-petiole not clearly 

 separated, becoming gradually wider towards the apex ; it is 

 strongly punctured. There is a distinct depression at the base of 

 the metanotum. Legs short and stout. 



The bodj'^ is black, spotted with yellow ; it is more closely and 

 strongly punctured than usual. Temples obliquely narrowed. 



This genus should be readily known by the roundly convex scutel- 

 lum, keeled to the middle, and by the clypeus being separated 

 from the face by a deep transverse furrow. The middle area of the 

 petiole is raised, separated from the sides. The apex of the clypeus 

 is not quite transverse, the middle being slightly dilated

Black, the face, except for a large mark on its lower half, its sides 

 produced above, the sides of clypeus, inner eye orbits, lower two- 

 thirds of outer, base of mandibles, palpi, a line round the base of the 

 prothorax, one on the pronotum. tegulae, two lines on the mesono- 

 tum, scutellar keels, two small spots on the base of scutellum, a 

 line on its apex, post-scutellura. two oblique spots on the apical 

 slope of metanotum, tubercles, a mark on the lower part of the 

 mesopleuiae, contracted in the middle, the apical part shorter and 

 more oval than the basal, which is narrowed at the apex , an irregular 

 spot on the apex of the metapleura?, transverse marks on the sides 

 of the basal four abdominal segments, the centre of the penultimate 

 and the whole of the last, yellow. Legs black, the four front coxae 

 and trochanters yellow ; their femora and tibiae obscure testaceous 

 in front. Wings clear hyahne, the stigma and nervures black, 6 .
