182 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 



Head strongly punctured, the front and vertex more closely and 

 regularly than the face. Face and oral region thickly covered with 

 pale hair. Scutellum shining, weakly punctured, flat. Thorax closely, 

 somewhat strongly punctured, the median segment more coarsely than 

 the rest. Areola quadrate, almost twice longer than wide, of equal 

 width throughout, transverse at the base and apex. Post-petiole 

 strongly, regularly, longitudinally striated, the central area clearly 

 defined. Gastrocoeli transverse, stoutly striated, the striie mostly 

 curved, clearly separated. Areolet 5-angled, wide in front, as wide 

 there as the space bounded by the recurrent and the second transverse 

 cubital nervures ; the recurrent is received shortly beyond the middle ; 

 the disco-cubital is broken by a stump ; the transverse median nervure 

 is received distinctly beyond the transverse basal. Tarsi spinose, 

 especially at the apices of the joints. Tubercles white. Temples 

 longer than the eyes above. Occiput roundly incised. The apex of 

 the hind tibiae may be black. 



ANOMALONINI. 

 Anomalon trichiosomum, sp. nov. 



Black ; the first abdominal segment, the sides of the second to 

 fourth, and the hind legs rufo-testaceous ; the four anterior legs 

 yellowish testaceous ; all the coxae and the apex of the hind tibiae 

 broadly and irregularly black; the middle joints of the hind tarsi are 

 tinged with yellow, the last black. There is a large yellowish mark on 

 the centre of the face, dilated laterally in the middle to the eyes, the 

 dilated parts gradually narrowed to a point on the outer side ; there is 

 a similarly coloured transverse mark on the clypeus, which is, laterally, 

 gradually narrowed to a point. Mandibles with a pale yellowish mark 

 in front at the base. Palpi pale yellow. Wings hyaline, iridescent, 

 the costa and nervures black, the stigma testaceous. ? . Length, 

 22 mm. 



Head, thorax, and base of legs densely covered with long grey 

 pubescence, the rest of the legs and body with a sparser and shorter 

 whitish pile. Front depressed, the parts bordering the sides of the 

 ocelli stoutly striated, the striae oblique and twisted ; the centre of the 

 front is irregularly, stoutly reticulated ; above the autennfe is a stout 

 plate. Sides of face irregularly, coarsely reticulated, the centre irregu- 

 larly rugose. Mesonotum smooth and shining, the apical slope in the 

 middle closely, irregularly, longitudinally striated. Scutellum coarsely, 

 rugosely punctured, with a smooth spot in the centre ; it has an 

 oblique slope towards the apex. Median segment coarsely, irregularly 

 reticulated, densely covered with long pale hair. Pro- and mesopleuras 

 moderately finely but not closely punctured ; the metapleurae much 

 more closely, regularly, and strongly punctured. Sheaths of ovipositor 

 rufo-testaceous, black above ; its basal third narrowed above, clearly 

 separated from the thicker apical part. Transverse median nervure 

 received shortly beyond the transverse basal ; the transverse median 

 nervure in the hind wings is broken shortly above the middle. 



Laphyctes ? trilineatus, sp. nov. 

 Black ; a line on the inner orbits from the antennae to the base of 

 the mandibles, the line narrowed at the top and bottom, a line in the
