234 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 



Steriphocryptus luteus, sp. nov. 

 Luteous ; the sides of the mesonotum, the base and apex of the 

 metanotum, the base of the meso- and metapleurae and of the abdo- 

 minal segments, black. Wings hyaline, with a yellowish-fuscous 

 tinge ; the nervures blackish ; the stigma dark testaceous. Antennae 

 pale yellow, blackish towards the apex. ? . Length 15 mm. 



Hab. Darjeeling. 



Face and clypeus closely punctured, as is also the front ; the latter 

 is furrowed in the centre ; the centre of the vertex of the front and 

 occiput are rufous in colour. Mandibular teeth black. Mesonotum 

 closely punctured ; the furrows are distinct, deep on its basal half. 

 Median segment closely and somewhat strongly punctured ; its basal 

 transverse keel is interrupted in the centre. There is an oblique keel 

 above the centre of the propleurse. The tooth on the metanotum is 

 broad. The transverse cubital nervures converge above ; the second 

 is widely bullated, it being only indicated at the top and bottom. 

 Abdomen smooth and shining. 



PHYGADEUONINI. 



LiNYCus, gen. nov. 

 Metathoracic spiracles small, oval, distinctly longer than broad ; 

 its areola longer than broad, widely separated from the base of the 

 segment. Clypeus distinctly separated from the face, its apex broadly 

 rounded. Malar space large. Mandibles stoutly bidentate. Temples 

 broad. Scape distinctly smaller than the first joint of the flagellum. 

 Scutellum flat, keeled laterally at the base. Mesosternum bordered 

 on its basal half by a deep furrow. Areolet 5-angled ; the transverse 

 basal interstitial ; the transverse median nervure in hind wings broken 

 far below the middle ; the stigma is longish ; the radius originates 

 from its middle, the transverse median nervure is interstitial. Abdo- 

 men long and slender, flat above, the post-petiole distinctly bent ; the 

 last two segments with large pale membraneous depression ; the last 

 segment bluntly pointed ; the ovipositor projects ; its sheaths are 

 broad. The spiracles on the first segments are placed close to the 

 apex ; there are distinct depressions (gastrocoeli) on the base of the 

 second segment ; the post-petiole is not keeled. The legs are 

 moderately stout ; the basal joints of the flagellum are greatly elon- 

 gated ; the parapsidal furrows are indistinct ; the posterior median 

 area is not separated ; there are no teeth on the median segment; the 

 abdomen is longer than usual, being longer than the head and thorax 

 united ; its second segment is as long as the petiole, and is twice 

 longer than wide ; the disco-cubital nervure is angled near the middle, 

 but not broken. 



Belongs to the Phygadeuonini, and comes, in Ashmead's 

 table, close to Panargyrops. 



LiNYCus RUFiPES, sp. nov. 

 Black ; the median segment and the middle of the post-petiole 

 red ; the face except in the centre, clypeus, the mandibles except at 

 the apex, the inner orbits from opposite the base of the antenna3, a
