the form of the antennae and of the median segment. In 
some of the Indian Joppini the subapieal tooth of the man-

M, rufa sp. nov. Rufous; the mesonotum, the upper part 
of the pleurae, and the posterior median area of the median 
segment, black; the eye orbits, the upper part of the pro- 
notum, the tubercles, 2 lines on the mesonotum, the seutellum 
and postscutellum, yellow ; wings hyaline, the costa and stigma

Hab. Simla. 
Antennae yellowish-fulvous, the thickened apical part 
black ; the middle is of a paler yellow tint. Face and ely- 
peus smooth and shining, impunctate and thickly covered 
with white pubescence. Front and vertex smooth and shining, 
broadiy black in the middle; the black band on the front 
narrower than that on the vertex, Mandibles yellow at the 
base, black at the apex. Palpi yellowish. Mesonotum elosely 
punetured; the yellow lines do not extend to the-apex; there 
is an impressed line outside these on the apical half. Median 
segment closely, rugosely punctured, except on the areola and 
the sides and apex of the lateral areae which are smooth. 
The middle of the propleurae is broadly black; the lower half 
of the apex is closely striated. The black mark on the upper 
half of the mesopleurae is much narrowed at the base; the 
middle is obscurely striated. The base of the metapleurae and 
the lower part are broadly black; the black colour on the 
latter extending above the keel, Legs coloured like the body ; 
a spot on the outerside of the hinder coxae and the apex of 
the hinder femora black. Abdomen shining; the 2nd and 31 
segments elosely and minutely punetured; the base of the 2nd 
segment closely, londitudinally striated between the gastro- 
coeli; the striae not extending much beyond the middle of 
the latter ; the apical segments are thickly covered with ful- 
vous hair; the sheaths of the ovipositor are coloured like the 
body, with the tips black.

Antennae long, slender, thickened beyond the middle, the 
apex attenuate; the middle broadly ringed with white. Occiput

its sides broadly rounded. Labrum small. Mandibles roundly 
curved, becoming gradually narrowed towards the apex, which 
has only one tooth. Seutellum more or less pyramidal, with 
an oblique slope at the base and apex; its sides more or less 
keeled, Median segment areolated; the sides bluntly keeled ;
