230 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 
Basal two joints of antenne bare, the rest densely covered with 
long fuscous pubescence. Face and clypeus smooth, the vertex and 
front longitudinally striated, the striae stout and clearly separated. 
Mesonotum and scutellum somewhat strongly reticulated, the scutellum 
more widely than the mesonotum ; the centre, and, less strongly, the 
sides of scutellar spine keeled, the space between the keels with a 
few transverse striz. Metanotum coarsely irregularly reticulated. 
Propleure coarsely reticulated, the mesopleure more finely obliquely 
reticulated ; the metapleure strongly regularly reticulated and densely 
covered with white pubescence. Sides of abdominal’ petiole with two 
or three stout longitudinal strie. The mesopleure less densely 
covered with white pubescence than the metapleuree. Wings shortly, 
closely ciliated. The metapleure are broadly rounded at the apex. 
ELTOLADA, gen. nov. 
Antenne eleven-jointed, simple in the male, the joints elongated, 
cylindrical, pilose ; longer than the body, in female not much longer 
than the head and thorax united, the basal joint elongated, as long as 
the following two united. One mandible edentate, the other with a 
long apical followed by two short teeth. Parapsidal furrows distinct. 
Scutellum large, almost semicircular, the apex prolonged into a pro- 
cess which is as wide as long at the base, followed by two roundly 
curved forks. Abdominal petiole as long as the thorax, and longer 
than the rest of the abdomen in both sexes, narrow, cylindrical, of 
equal width; the dilated apical part is turned upwards. Marginal 
and post-marginal vein thickened, the latter half the length of the 
former and narrowed towards the apex, stigmal vein short, sessile, as 
long as thick. 
The simple, non-flabellate antenne might ally this genus with 
Psilogaster, which, however, may easily be known from it by the 
scutellum not being bidentate. The simple antenne in the male 
separate it from Stibula and Schizaspidia ; from the latter it may 
further be known by the very much longer abdominal petiole, and 
by the thickened marginal and post-marginal nervures, and the 
very short, thick, stigmal vein. ; 
Hltolada trimaculata, sp. nov. 
Head blue, the mandibles and palpi yellowish testaceous, the 
basal three joints of the antennz and the apical two testaceous, the 
apical more rufous in tint than the basal. Thorax yellowish testa- 
ceous, a large blue and violaceous mark, almost semicircular, but 
longer than wide, on the basal half of the central lobe, a smaller 
oblique one, longer than wide, its base rounded, the apex straight and 
oblique onthe two lateral, a line on the apex, touching the scutellum, 
a small triangular mark on the apex of the scutellum. Length, 5mm. 
Kuching, Borneo; May (John Hewitt). 
Sides of the head, from the base of the ocelli to the middle of the 
front, longitudinally striated, the strive strong and clearly separated, 
the centre, immediately under the antenne, with three curved trans- 
verse strie. Malar space to near the bottom stoutly obliquely
