outer, a broad line on the pronotum not extending to the base, an in- 

 terrupted line on the apex of the scutellum, dilated into a round spot 

 at the apex of the keel, yellow ; legs red ; the four front coxfe and 

 trochanters yellow ; the hind coxae and trochanters black. Under side 

 of antenual scape yellow ; the flagellum brownish below. Wings

Face and clypeus strongly but not closely punctured, the apex of 

 the latter smooth ; the apical row of punctures on it separated from 

 the rest ; the upper part of front and vertex sparsely, weakly punc- 

 tured ; the part between the ocelli more strongly and closely punctured. 

 Scutellum somewhat densely covered with long white hair. Posterior 

 median area from near the top stoutly, irregularly, longitudinally 

 striated ; spiracular area at the base and middle irregularly longitu- 

 dinally striated ; its apex with a few oblique ones.

 Black ; the eye orbits except for a narrow line on the malar space, 

 a narrow curved line below the antennae, a mark in the lower part of 

 the face in the middle, a large, wide, oblique mark on the sides of the 

 clypeus, a line on the base of pronotum, one on the sides above, two 

 lines on the middle of mesonotum, on the apical half, the sides and 

 apex of scutellum, the scutellar keels, post-scutellum, a mark, longer 

 than wide, on the apex of metanotum on the sides, tubercles, an 

 oblique mark, dilated at the base above, roundly in the middle below, 

 a more regular mark, narrowed at the apex, on the apex below and 

 moderately broad lines on the apices of all the abdominal segments, 

 pale yellow. Antennal scape dark rufous below ; the tenth to sixteenth 

 joints white below. Legs red, the four anterior coxae largely yellow, 

 the posterior black, yellow at the base below, and at the apex above ; 

 the trochanters marked with black, the apices of the tarsi blackish. 

 Wings hyaline, the stigma pale testacous, the nervures black. $ .

Simla. May (Major C. G. Nurse). 



Head almost smooth ; finely punctured at the ocelli ; the pubescence 

 short, white, sparse. Mandibles yellow at the base, the middle rufous, 

 the apex black. Palpi white. Thorax finely, closely punctured ; the 

 scutellum more sparsely than the mesonotum ; the latter is keeled 

 laterally to shortly beyond the middle. Areola longish horseshoe- 

 shaped ; the round base margined by a narrow furrow, not by a keel ; 

 the apex is rounded inwardly; the basal half smooth, the apical 

 weakly, irregularly striated ; the part behind it is smooth, shining and 

 confluent with the lateral arese ; the apical slope is more closely 

 punctured than the rest. The first abdominal segment becomes grad- 

 ually widened towards the apex, the post-petiole not being defined. 

 Gastracoeli separated, striated at the base, rufous at the apex ; the 

 middle segments are closely, minutely punctured ; the apex is nar- 

 rowed ; the ovipositor largely projects. Areolet 4-angled, the nervures 

 meeting in front, the recurrent nervure received in the middle ; trans-
