New genera and species of hymenoptera from Itdia. 397 
of equal width; the post-petiole distinetly and largely bor- 
dered and clearly separated. Gastrocoeli large, deep. The 
2nd and S31d segments are closely punctured; the segments 
distinctly project at the apex; the 7th segment is small, not 
half the length of the preceding. 
The areae between the central and the spiracular are 
absent, the keels being obliterated ; the spiracular area is only 
indistinetly defined on the innerside ; the areola is separated 
by a greater distance than its own length from the base of 
the segment. The legs are stout; the hinder femora do not 
reach beyond the middle of the third segment; the tarsi are 
spinose. The transverse median nervure is not interstitial. 
The distinguishing features of this genus are the deeply 
ineised oceiput; the large, obliquely narrowed temples, the 
short dilated antennae and the areola widely separated from 
the base of the segment. The post-petiole is larger compared 
with the petiole than usual; and the last abdominal segment 
shorter compared with the penultimate than in most Joppini. 
The ventral fold is only indicated on the second segment, 
N. annulitarsis, sp. nov. ©. Aigra, late flavo-maculata ; 
femoribus nigris, posticis albomaeulatis ; tarsis nigro-maculatis ;

22--23 mm.

Antennae black; the Oth to 16th Joints white, Head 
black ; the inner orbits, a large oblique mark on the lower 
third of the outer, two small irregular marks on the top of 
the face in the centre, the elypeus, except narrowly on the 
sides, and a triangular black mark in the middle at the apex, 
and the labrum, yellow. Face and elypeus closely and rather 
strongly punctured, as is also the vertex. There is a curved 
mark on the base of the mandibles. Palpi yellow. Thorax 
thiekly covered with short white pubescence ; the base of the 
pronotum, its upper edge, except at the base broadly, two 
longish yellow marks on the centre of the mesonotum (their 
base obliquely narrowed, their apex more broadly roundlÿ 
narrowed), the scutellum, post-seutellum, two large marks on 
the centre of the median segment — their innerside following 
the boundary of the central areae and on the outer extending 
into the spiracular area — a broad, longish mark, roundly 
narrowed at the apex, on the centre of the mesopleurae and 
a similar oblique one on the centre of the metapleurae, yellow. 
The basal lateral areae are not clearly defined behind; the 
apical two have the bounding keels distinet; the top of the
